The opening reception for both exhibitions will be held on Friday, August 9, 2019, from 6:00-9:00 p.m. The artwork will be on display until Saturday, September 7, 2019, at 5 pm.
The artists will be present at the reception to discuss their work and answer questions. In addition, appetizers will be provided by Veritá Batavia, a cash bar featuring beer from Solemn Oath Brewery, and wine will be available for purchase. This event is free and open to the public.

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.
