The public is welcome to attend the exhibit reception from 5 to 8 p.m. Nov. 19. Saturday hours for the exhibit are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Sunday noon to 4 p.m. There is no charge to view the exhibit and refreshments will be served during the Friday night reception. The Batavia library has graciously donated a cake to help celebrate the exhibit.

Artists love to show their work and many will be at the reception ready to discuss their work attendees.

The Batavia Artists Guild has been operating since 1993. The guild currently has 38 members. Artists must jury into the group. The purpose of the Batavia Artists Guild is to foster, create and encourage appreciation of the fine arts and to encourage artistic expression.
