2026 Genesee Valley 100

Join us as one of our 100 artists this year!

We’re seeking 100 artists to create a colored piece on canvas inspired by the Genesee Valley!

There are two requirements: First, you must create something inspired by the Genesee Valley, and second, your piece must be on a 12”x12” piece of canvas (we have a few more guidelines you should read below!).

The goal of this project is to see what inspires artists about the Genesee Valley landscape. We hope these inspirations will in turn inspire the community to appreciate the diversity and importance of the Genesee Valley landscape we are working to protect.
