Feather, Fins and Fur Exhibit Opening

The Animal Kingdom comes to life in the upcoming ACYC exhibit Feathers, Fins, and Fur--May 6-June 21, 2025.

Featured artists Ray Easton and Jason Tennant, as well as local exhibiting artists will share their appreciation for all earth’s creatures in this show.

Ray Easton's paintings combine a majestic draftsmanship with the observational powers of a seasoned naturalist. Light, composition, and anatomy are the three most important elements in his work. Easton says, "The mere innocence of the natural world is perhaps its greatest attribute, like the simplest stroke of the earth's most divine masterpiece."

Jason Tennant’s sculptures are carved from a variety of native woods, and along with his paintings depict animals native to North American woodlands and waters. He spends time at his remote Finger Lakes cabin-- foraging for the wood of rare American Chestnut trees which he uses in his sculptures. Tennant notes “these works are a celebration of nature’s resilience to human stresses and my interpretation of the essence of wildness.”

Join us for an opening reception to meet exhibiting artists and enjoy wine tasting, hors d’oeuvres and live entertainment by classical guitarist Mike Deall May 9th from 5-7pm.

Please bring a donation of canned or dry dog/cat food to support The Humane Society of Yates County.
