Will there be an opening reception on July 9^th?

An opening reception will not be held on July 9^th, but the public will be able to start viewing the exhibition that day.  The primary exhibition events will be on July 17^th and an artists exclusive event in the fall.

On July 17^th we are joining with SPACES Gallery to celebrate local artist by hosting extended hours to encourage visitors to partake in a joint viewing of Lake Effect at the Transformer Station and SPACES Gallery’s ArtPass Members' Exhibition opening that day. (SPACES is located just down the block from the Transformer Station.)  The event will not be a formal reception but is completely open to the public. 

The fall event will be a formal reception for artists and their guests. The three micro-grant winners will be announced at this event followed by a public announcement online. Artists will receive information directly, via email, about the Award Ceremony and Celebration and can reach out to the Lake Effect Team with any questions.
