Local landscape artist Robert Pennington?s oil and watercolor paintings are on display at The Holmstad Town Center Gallery now through July 7, 2017. Gallery hours are weekdays, 9 a.m.-5 p.m., and weekend by appointment. The Holmstad, a faith-based, non-for-profit, continuing care retirement community is located at 700 W. Fabyan Parkway, Batavia. Stationed in Italy in the U.S. Army during World War II at the age of 18, Pennington was influenced by the country?s beautiful landscape and rich architecture. After the war, he attended Knox College where he earned his bachelor of fine arts degree and then worked in the advertising and printing industries. Upon retiring, Pennington devoted his time to honing his craft, focusing on oil and watercolor painting. He has achieved numerous awards over the years for his work, including Best in Show and People?s Choice awards, and shares his gift by teaching oil painting at LivingWell Cancer Resource Center in Geneva. Pennington believes, "Art is not only creating something beautiful, it is also a wonderful form of therapy and it's good for the soul." Throughout the year, the Town Center Gallery features the work of local and resident artists. For more information, visit www.theholmstad.org/events or call 877-226-7310.

I am so thankful that a few of my fellow Batavian’s recommended the Batavia Chamber of Commerce to me. Since I joined I feel as though I have been blessed with a second family with all the support and motivation I get from them on a regular basis. Margaret, Patti and Shirley are the most amazing women. They have great passion for business and helping people. I truly feel they care about my business on a personal level and want to see it grow and succeed as much as I do! They have gone the extra mile to get my name and my business name out there and introduce me to the business community. The Chamber has so many opportunities available that have helped my business both grow and problem solve such as the free monthly Networking It events. I highly recommend the Batavia Chamber of Commerce to all business professionals.
