Every month, Lindsey Roussel and Chris Prunckle host a pop-up art show in downtown Batavia. Initially hosted at Sidecar Supper Club and now taking place monthly at Sturdy Shelter, ArtBar Batavia has helped to redefine the feel of Batavia simply by providing a space for creativity and self-expression.

In this episode of Area Code: Batavia, I spoke to the founders of ArtBar Batavia what drew them to Batavia, why this town is ideal for a lowbrow art gallery, and why AI has no place in their shows.

PLUS: Richard and Alexa mourn the closing of Daddio's. And Richard went kayaking at Clark Island!

For 630 Members This Week: Richard and Alexa rank the elementary mascots from worst to best! Important! Also, find out some of Chris and Lindsey's favorite things in Batavia.
