The Irondequoit Art Club (IAC) was founded in 1958 by a small group of artistic visionaries whose purpose was to bring artists together to work at the medium of their choice. The group remains active to this day and is open to all--from beginners to experienced artists--anyone with an interest in any form of media.
Meetings are held on the 4th Tuesday of each month from 6:30 P.M. to 9 P.M. (September to May) at the Irondequoit Public Library, Room # 115, 'Irondequoit Bay', which is located at 1290 Titus Avenue, Rochester, NY 14617 (next to the Irondequoit Town Hall). Following a short business meeting is a demonstration by a professional artist. These presentations are open to the public and cover a wide range of art forms - painting, sculpture, printmaking, etc. They are fun as well as educational.
On most Wednesday afternoons (usually 12:00 - 3:00 p.m.), the Art Club holds workshops at ( TBD), to share lunch, art and ideas. Wednesday activities include monthly critiques on pieces created by the members. Drawing and outings are scheduled whenever possible.
