The Holmstad Town Center Gallery will feature an exhibit by Yellow House Artists entitled "Creative Expressions in Oil Pastel" beginning May 8 through July 5, 2015. The exhibit features more than 40 oil pastel paintings created by 16 Yellow House Artists members. The public is invited to attend an Artists' Reception on Friday, May 8, 6-8 p.m. in the Town Center Gallery. The Holmstad is located at 700 W. Fabyan Parkway, Batavia. A relatively new painting medium, oil pastels were developed in the 1940's at the request of Pablo Picasso, who wanted a medium with the qualities of oil but with an ease of application and portability. Oil pastels are pure pigment suspended in inert mineral oil and formed into sticks. The color is applied directly to the painting surface using a variety of techniques. Members of the Yellow House Artists use unique methods, taking advantage of the special qualities of the medium. As part of the ongoing exhibit, The Holmstad will host the Yellow House Artists on June 12, 2015, 1-2:15 p.m. to present "The Artistry of Oil Pastels". The free presentation will highlight the oil pastel medium and provide examples of oil pastel techniques. A member of Yellow House Artists will take guests on a gallery walk and share details about the featured artwork. Call 877-226-7310 to reserve a spot. The artist's reception, with music and refreshments, is free. The Gallery is open daily 9 a.m.-5 p.m. and on weekends by appointment.

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.
