CAZENOVIA, NY (07/02/2010)(readMedia)-- The Cazenovia College Art Gallery in Reisman Hall finishes its 2010 run with a retrospective exhibition of four Cazenovia artists, July 23, 24 and 25, and July 30, 31 and August 1.

The Gallery will host "Artists of Cazenovia: A Retrospective of Four Fabulous Women," featuring work by Dorothy Riester, Prudence Burg Hubbard, Priscilla Burg Jenney Hancock, and Lucy Eliot. The show will culminate in an auction of many of Eliot's paintings, which she donated to the College.

The opening reception is July 23 from 6 to 8 p.m.; the auction is scheduled for Aug. 1. Proceeds from the auction will provide funds to continue the Summer Art Series in 2011.

Summer gallery hours are Fridays from 6 to 8 p.m.; Saturdays and Sundays from 1 to 4 p.m. The Cazenovia College Art Gallery in Reisman Hall, 6 Sullivan St., is on the corner of Sullivan and Seminary streets in Cazenovia. Visit www.cazenovia.edu/art-gallery for more information.

Cazenovia artist Dorothy Riester founded Stone Quarry Hill Art Park with her late husband. The Burg twins, as they were known, taught art at Cazenovia College in the mid-1900s, and Lucy Eliot, a summer resident of Cazenovia for many years, recently celebrated her 97th birthday and lives in her own apartment in New York City. She became enamored with the Central New York landscapes and industrial buildings as seen in her work.
