TONIGHT at the Dove — PHOENIX RISING!

It’s First Friday in downtown Geneva, sponsored by the Geneva BID, and we’re celebrating with the opening of Phoenix Rising—an exhibition with a story of rebirth, transformation, and becoming:

“This is me—unbound, unfiltered, a phoenix rising.”

Join us tonight, October 2, for the opening reception and an evening of art, music, and community.

Live music by Ryan Sutherland, a Rochester singer-songwriter and guitarist whose one-man-band sound blends rock & roll, blues, Americana, and psychedelic rock.

Come downtown for First Friday—and make the Dove one of your stops. We’d love to see you!
