March Guest Artists

This is our first Guest Artist show of 2026 and we are starting off the year with something special. 

Three Central New York public school teachers, Carolyn Comfort, Brett Rewakowski and Kelly Holmes will be exhibiting their work for the month of March in our gallery. These art teachers share their creative passion everyday with students from three different school districts here in Central New York and we are excited to bring that passion to our gallery. 

Carolyn Comfort teaches at Rome Free Academy in Rome NY, Brett Rewakowski teaches at Madison Oneida BOCES in Utica and Kelly Holmes teaches at Morrisville Eaton. Each sees their explorations in art as a resource in fostering creative ideas in their students. They help students explore the expressive nature of the visual arts. In March, Carolyn's, Brett’s and Kelly’s passion extends beyond the classroom and into the Cazenovia Artisans Gallery.

This exhibit was made possible with a gift from photographer, Ron Thiele, of Syracuse. Ron was a Guest Artist at Cazenovia Artisans in 2024 and expressed an interest in providing more local artists with the opportunity to exhibit their work. 

What better way than to provide an opportunity for art teachers, who spend so much of their time and energy encouraging young artists, to have the opportunity to share their own personal work in our gallery? These teachers constantly showcase the work of their students, but don’t get many opportunities to show their own art.

We as artists are the beneficiaries of lessons learned and passions shared by the teachers who nurtured our passion to create. It is our goal to continue providing exhibit opportunities for more teachers in the coming years.

Please join us Saturday, March 7, from 2-4 pm for an artists’ reception at our gallery, 

39 Albany Street, Cazenovia. 

Light refreshments will be served.
