On the first Friday of each month of the year, The Gallery in the Valley open their doors to a new display from an area artist. We have drinks and light snacks, listen to some live music, and gather around the creations of our monthly visiting artist. Our sweet shop dog Lady roams around and gathers pets from all who stop in. We love it because we get to brush shoulders with all of you lovely people who make, support, and appreciate art.

This month we’re celebrating the works of Stacey Mrva and Sami Bodratti!!

Stacey Mrva is a metal sculptor and owner of Ironwood Studios, known for transforming bold line drawings into expressive steel wall pieces. Her pieces in this show reimagine old-school tattoo flash in welded form. She also leads VERY VERY AWESOME empowering women’s welding workshops in her Springwater, NY studio.

Sami Bodratti is the beautiful brain (and very steady hands) behind Ambrosia Arti, a woman-owned eco-focused tattoo studio right here on Main Street in Geneseo, NY. Sami's work is colorful, floral, vivid and captivating.
