Through October 24--Homage: Arbit Blatas (1909-1999) and the School of Paris. Impressionism, Cubism, and Dada are a few of the cutting-edge movements that dominated the Paris art scene well into the 20th century. This exhibition includes lithographic portraits of some of the century's most famous artists, today known collectively as the School of Paris.

Through November 14--The Frame in America: 1860-1960. With this exhibition, the gallery focuses on a relatively new area of study: the frame as an enclosure and as a work of art in its own right. Surveys by frame experts in 1987, 1995, and 1999 also have revealed a number of superb examples in the gallery's own collection, notably those on paintings by Winslow Homer, Gilbert Stuart, and Elmer Schofield.

Through January 9--Lynne Feldman: Good Yontif. In 1997, Rochester artist Lynne Feldman produced a series of 30 small paintings for a children's book titled Good Yontif: A Picture Book of the Jewish Year.
