The arts are important in Batavia, St. Charles and Geneva. Which gallery do you think is the best?
One of the many things to be proud of in the Tri-Cities is each community's commitment to the arts.
And gradually, through the years, we've been fortunate to attract a number of oustanding art galleries.
Obviously, art is subjective. One man's Braque is not another man's Bellini. The same, perhaps, holds true with art galleries. It's hard to pick a favorite. But "you must, you must," as Gene Wilder said in the classic art film, Blazing Saddles.
Nominations were accepted on Geneva, Batavia and St. Charles Patch through July 9.
Winners in all Readers' Choice categories will be announced on Aug. 24.
The poll will open to accept votes from registered Patch users starting on July 23 and close at 11:59 p.m. on Aug. 17.

The photos shown are the art by the Croissy, France artist who were here last year on a Cultural exchange program hosted by the Geneva International Cultural Exchange Committee- we were happy to host a reception for Geneva residents and the visiting artists. Gallery 28 currently shows work by over 200 artists, a lot of them local to the area.

Water Street Studios. And it is more than a gallery. No matter where you live in the Fox Valley, it is YOUR community art center with 3 galleries, 28 artist studios, 3 classrooms and an outreach program.

Though Art Box does not call its self a gallery some of the best art in Geneva hangs there.
