Curator Debra Eck says, “Every year during the Lucille Ball Comedy Festival thousands of tourists visit the area. This show presents OUR local Jamestown to them.” Participants took an Instagram picture of anything inside the Jamestown City limits that represents their city and posted the pictures with #Myjtownny.

The photographers represented in Myjtownny include: Allison Slagle, Carrie Tredo, Autumn Echo, Tara Eastman, Sarah Chapman, Hillary Meyer, Jessica Carr, Jennifer Little, Zach Agett, Kathy Storms, Kristen Johnson, Megan Arnone, Barry Meyer, Christopher Riolo, Lisa Miller, Stefan Duga, Stephanie Zwyghuien, Steve Hayes, Sarah Cleary, Dan Swackhammer, Terrie Johnson, Sheila Webster and Peter Garami. More will be announced closer to the exhibition.

The Gallery’s relocation and remodeling was part of a larger construction project affecting most of Reg Lenna Center for The Arts. Demolition for the multi-million dollar project began in December, 2017 with renovation and construction following in early 2018. Funding for the project comes from Western New York Regional Economic Development Council DRI, Ralph C. Sheldon Foundation, Gebbie Foundation and Lenna Foundation.

Shows at 3rd on 3rd Gallery are made possible by grant support from New York State Council On The Arts. 3rd On 3rd Gallery is located at 108 E. 3rd St. in the Reg Lenna Center for The Arts in Jamestown.
