The bench that Rutabaga Art members, Sharon Michaelsen and Kathy Williams, painted for the butterfly reading garden at the Geneseo Library got moved from the gallery to the garden on Thursday. Two other benches were painted, one by the Geneseo Art League, and one by the Dave Smith Studio and Gallery. This will be a fun outdoor space for your children to visit this summer.

The photo shows Karen Stewart Casper (in the middle) and her neice Amy and Amy's husband Al who graciously helped take down the 4th Annual Geneseo Fine Art Exhibit at the Cellar Restaurant and Rutabaga Art studio/gallery.
New work was hung at the Cellar and Rutabaga by them and other helpful Rutabaga members.
Thank you, also, to all the artists who entered and those who came to see their wonderful work. Every year the exhibit grows better!

Becket and Mildred decided to try out the book bench painted by Kathy Williams and a few other Rutabaga Art members that will go in the Geneseo Library's reading garden.
The paintings in the background are by the late Pauline Swanson.
