About the event
This exhibit will showcase original creations from our community. Everyone perceives the Erie Canal differently and utilizes it in their own manner, thus capturing its essence. It serves a practical function and possesses a romantic charm. Through what lens do you see the Erie Canal? Boating, fishing, walking the trail, biking, painting, history, story, travel, engineering, obstruction... and the list goes on.

Discover how Wayne County Captures the Canal in distinct ways—through words, images, performance, or craft—this special exhibit will commemorate the conclusion of the 200th canal season.
Exhibit will be open to the public during our regular hours, Tues. to Sat. from 10am to 4pm.
There will be a Reception for Creators on November 22nd from 2pm to 4pm. All are welcome.
