Opening Reception: “Unrealism”

Join us at Water Street Art Studios for the opening of Unrealism!

Friday, January 9

6–9 PM

160 S Water Street, Batavia

Experience art that bends reality and sparks imagination.

Exhibition runs January 9 – February 7. Our gallery is open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 12-4pm.

All are welcome—come celebrate creativity with us!

Watch fashion turn into art live as artist Allen Vandever paints directly onto your jackets and dresses, transforming each piece into a one-of-a-kind artwork.

Bring your own jacket or dress to be painted live or to be sent home with the artist for future painting. Dress and jacket paintings are around $300 each and will be facilitated directly with the artist.

Come experience the process, the energy, and the art as it happens.

Join us for the opening of Unrealism, where creativity breaks the rules and reality bends.
