Contemporary printmakers of the United States, England, France, Germany and Japan are well represented at the gallery, which is artist owned. The silk-screen prints of Ms. Sola generally reflect her familiarity with the landscape of Ithaca and Peru. The gallery also has handcrafted jewelry and imported rugs. The gallery curates and organizes exhibits of works by local, regional, and national artists and sponsors multi-arts events. State of the Art Gallery is a cooperative owned and operated by visual artists from the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York.
Shows change monthly.
Most involve members' work but several focus on work of non-members. Popular annual events are a regional juried photo show and a national juried all-media show. Established in 1963, the gallery serves as a visual forum for professional artists. Paintings, drawings, photographs, and sculptures are displayed in seven major shows a year. A group show in the Fall features area artists, many of whom are affiliated with Cornell University and Ithaca College.
