The little hole-in-ground gallery that has housed some of Oil City's finest art shows over the last decade or more is no more. The basement space, known as the Graffiti Gallery, parted ways with the National Transit building last fall when the rent was increased and found new digs a stone's throw away down Seneca Street. The new space gives the Graffiti Gallery committee and the Oil City Arts Council a street-level walk-in level year-round space to serve the Oil City Arts scene.
This weekend they kick off their 2024 art show season with its annual photography show. This year the committee is trying to up their art street-cred by holding juried art shows again.
This year Kris Risto, an Erie-based artist who is well-versed in sculpture, photography and painting was tasked with picking out award winners for the show opening at 6 p.m. tonight (March 8).
The show will run for roughly a month with two big events planned.
A St. Patrick's Day party in the gallery with some Celtic music on March 17 from noon to 4 p.m. and a guest lecturer, Patti Larson of the Photographic Arts Society of Northwestern Pennsylvania, will discuss the photography experience and how artificial intelligence has been and will effect photography.
The Gallery is located at 228 Seneca Street. The hours the show will be available for viewing are Friday, March 8 (opening reception) from 6-9 p.m.
The gallery space is also available to rent for parties, meetings etc. Connect with the Oil City Arts Council for more information.
