Tour of the Collection--Free with gallery admission. Meet at the admission desk. November 9, 6:30 p.m.; November 21, 2 p.m.

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. ("Good yontif" is Yiddish for "happy holiday.") Richly patterned and painted in jewel tones, her original paintings for the book depict family celebrations for nine Jewish holidays throughout the year.

Through January 23--Visions of Angels. The exhibition takes a look at one of the 20th century's prevailing visions: the angel. Pictured on everything from watch dials to magazine covers, angels have joined the commercial scene while continuing to play their traditional role in Christian art and theology. Features old favorites, along with some seldom-seen treasures, to celebrate the turning millennium.
