Art connoisseur or not, the Schweinfurth Memorial Art Center will get everyone's attention at its “Made in New York 2006” exhibit, opening Saturday. The only rule for artists is that they must live in New York.

“We want to show viewers the range and quality of art that is going on in New York state,” said Stephanie Schuster, assistant director of the Schweinfurth Memorial Art Center.
