We at Verve on Third want to promote all of our artists,
but since we represent over 150 creative, talented
people, we want to focus for the next few months on
the concept of peace. The peace the artist feels
creating their work, the peace the customer feels in
our store and then at home or work with the art they
have purchased, and last but most importantly we pray
for peace in the world. Stop in the gallery & receive a
token of our promotion of peace.
Don't forget, we are in our new location at
227 S. Third Street.

During Geneva’s First Fridays Gallery Walk
Proud Fox Gallery will be featuring artist Anthony
Soskich during the First Friday Gallery walk on
February 5th, from 6:00-8:30.
MEET THE ARTIST

Anthony Soskich was born in Austria, but has lived most of
his life in the Chicago-land area. He graduated from North
Park College with a major in Fine Arts.
His medium is oils and he has been painting with them for
more than 50 years. He has been trained to paint with
glazes, which capture the light needed to enhance each
work of art. Glazing has been a lost art in the 20th century,
but is starting to make a strong comeback.
During the past 50 years Anthony's methods and subject
matter have evolved dramatically. In the 60s, he started off
as an abstract artist and later he found a need to work in
the German/Expressionist School. As he grew older, he
found that impressionism/realism was best suited for him
and that is reflected in his current body of work.
Anthony works both as a plain-air and studio artist and his
work runs from large florals to seascapes, wildlife, and
landscapes. Lately he has been working on older
European villages and more contemporary subjects such
as tango dancers and jazz scenes.
His paintings have been collected throughout the United
States and Europe.
Dedicated to a mission of bringing beauty and interest to life through
Extraordinary Fine Art and Quality Crafted Custom Framing.

Our family business of almost 20 years is widely recognized for excellence in
custom framing, conservation, restoration, design, selection and craftsmanship.
Art presentation has been proudly coupled with an exquisite fine art collection
supported by professional consultation to assist in enhancing your home or
office environment.

The First Friday Gallery Walk is a self-
guided art walk and reception to
showcase the Art Galleries of
Geneva. Participating Galleries stay

refreshments and some may have
special events, artists show openings,
or live performances happening at
the galleries during First Fridays.
Geneva’s Art Galleries feature world-
class paintings, photography,
sculpture, fine contemporary craft,
fiber arts, jewelry and cultural arts by
nationally and internationally known
and local artists. Events occur
between 6-9 pm. First Fridays is
sponsored by the Geneva Arts
Commission, the Geneva Chamber of
Commerce, The Geneva Downtown
