The Resource Center is represented well in this year’s ArtScape project.
Works by two staff members (Susan Gutierrez and Brandi Somerton) and two self-advocates (Gabe Garofalo and Taynisha Lynch) are among the 58 pieces of art included in ArtScape Jamestown 2024. Almost 300 works were submitted for consideration for this year’s exhibit.
The ArtScape exhibit will be on display at Chautauqua Art Gallery, 318 North Main Street, through June 29. A virtual exhibit can be viewed through June 29.
Now in its second year, ArtScape seeks to represent regional artists in an outdoor gallery space. The ArtScape works have been reproduced on banners and placed on light posts throughout downtown Jamestown. The banners will remain up throughout the year.

The Resource Center is sponsoring the banners for the artwork created by Gabe and Taynisha. Chautauqua Art Gallery is sponsoring Susan’s banner, while Jamestown Macadam is sponsoring Brandi’s banner. Gabe and Taynisha’s banners are hanging near our CHQ Plus store at Third and Cherry streets. A walking tour brochure is available at local businesses and tourist destinations.
We congratulate Brandi, Gabe, Susan, and Taynisha on having their works selected for ArtScape!
ArtScape is made possible thanks to Chautauqua Art Gallery, the Jamestown Renaissance Corporation and the City of Jamestown Parks Department.
