If you’re a current AAO and member (or would like to be), you’re invited to participate in our 9th Annual Holiday Sale. There is no charge for a space; the AAO will collect a 15% commission from anything you sell.

This is not a holiday-themed sale; spring landscapes, summer flowers, fall animals, non-objective art, ceramics–all are welcome!

We welcome donated items for raffles to be held during the sale too. Or if you’d just like to donate artwork for the sale, that would also be great.

If interested, please contact Theresa Bower at bower@oswegoarts.org as soon as possible. She will give you all the details.

Opening reception is Saturday, October 19, 7–9 pm.

Whispers of Tomorrow features student artists from SUNY Oswego: Bailey Nolan with ink and markers, Bradley Knoer with photography, Erin McCollough with oil paintings, Laura Snyder with watercolor paintings, Laurel Burch with watercolor paintings and digital work,
and Leena Captain with mixed media and oil paintings. This exhibition was proposed, organized, and curated by Tristin Perry, a student from SUNY Oswego. Tristin Perry interned at the Art Association during the summer of 2024, and through her time at the AAO, she has gathered insight into the world of professional exhibitions. This exhibition will celebrate the impact of SUNY Oswego’s art department on its students, showcasing the skills these students have cultivated with the support of the faculty at Oswego. Whispers of
Tomorrow provides the community with an insight to the budding work of future artists attending SUNY Oswego, as well as the opportunity for Tristin to lead the orchestration of an exhibition in a professional space with the knowledge she gained through her time at the AAO.

The Art Association of Oswego is pleased to announce the opening of a new exhibition The Poetry of Place at the Art Association of Oswego with a reception on Saturday, October 19th from 7 to 9 pm. The show runs through November 17th. Featured are Madeline Corsaro and Bill DeMott who share a passion for landscape as a subject and a love for printmaking, especially the monotype process. Monotypes allow the artist to work freely on the printing plate and produce a single unique print.

Madeline Corsaro is an emerging artist of the Finger Lakes region. She received her BFA in printmaking from Nazareth College in 2018. When she isn’t painting or printmaking, she manages The Cheshire Union, a 1915 4-room schoolhouse turned art center in Canandaigua, NY. Madeline has exhibited at Main Street Arts Gallery in Clifton Springs, RIT, SUNY Fredonia, and Alfred State University.

Bill DeMott is an artist and educator from Oswego, NY. He has undergraduate and graduate degrees in Printmaking and Drawing from SUNY Oswego and Indiana University of Pennsylvania. He teaches at colleges and art venues across Central New York and has been the exhibition coordinator for the past 25 years at the Art Association of Oswego.
