The Gallery:

Established through the generous support of Margaret Colacino, artist and art educator, the Colacino Gallery serves as a cultural and educational resource for Nazareth students as well as the greater Rochester community. Its goal is to complement the liberal arts by fostering critical thinking, intellectual diversity, visual literacy, and aesthetic values. In addition to exhibitions generated in-house, artists are invited to submit proposals for solo or small group shows.

Upcoming Exhibitions:

Instances - Tom Galambos, Greg Lendeck, and Chris Watkins
"Instances" is a collection of drawings developed as narrative constructs. They involve the formulation of narrative as captured and fractured bits of time in the tradition of graphic novels and comics. The artists will be painting a mural in the gallery over the course of the exhibit and welcome visitors to watch their process. The mural will be informed by the work hanging in the gallery and the active collaboration between the artists and their interaction with one another's work.
