Artist Testimonial

“Janet and I joined Threshold Arts as Fox & Swan Arts about a year and a half ago. We’ve met so many artist friends in Rochester and several of them are part of Threshold Arts. Both Janet and I are essentially self-trained artists and in some communities it’s hard to bust into the art community if you don’t have a stronger academic arts background, but we have found the city of Rochester and the Threshold Arts community in particular very welcoming to us and we’ve been pleased to have our work shown in the Threshold Arts galleries over the years.” - Rick Swanson
