SOAG is a cooperative fine arts gallery operated by our members from the Finger Lakes region of New York. We have two juried shows each year, an invited guests show, and many shows by our members. For Seeing Ithaca, members and their guests will creatively interpret that theme. Opening night: August 4th, 5–8
Vince: “Ithaca is an amazing cultural hub, with a huge music scene and vibrant art scene and community. Not much happened during the pandemic, and so once the world reopened, I said to myself, ‘Wow! It’s really time to see Ithaca!’”
Ileen: “We are in collaboration with ten local galleries and we are hoping to have at least 50 artists show work on the theme of Seeing Ithaca. While we expect to see depictions of the beautiful landscapes of the area, we also expect to see the artists’ personal visions of the city.”
Nancy: “This is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate artists and art enthusiasts.”
This exhibit, A Season of Ithaca, will feature portraits of locations in and around the city of Ithaca by Carlton Manzano. Carlton works outdoors, creating representational work predominantly of urban settings in oils on board or canvas. Opening night: August 4th, 5–8
This exhibition celebrates a pioneering group of queer artists who left the disparaging metropolis for Danby to build a commune, plant gardens, and party. Along with art made by members of the collective, we are also showing some contemporary pieces that channel the Lavender Hill legacy. Opening night: August 4th, 5–7

The Ink Shop Printmaking Center will show member work, either Ithaca inspired or created here. Our studio has several new members and we are excited to add their unique contributions to the pool of diverse printmaking imagery and techniques that the Ink Shop artists use. This exhibit is in conjunction with our annual Member Exhibit which provides the opportunity to see the creative and skilled work coming out of Ithaca’s own community print studio.
Opening night: August 4th, 5–8
