BELLOWS FALLS — Canal Street Art Gallery (CSAG) presents the Canal Street Art Gallery Represented Artist Show at Main Street Arts (MSA), on view to the public through Monday, Aug. 9.
This group show is a collaborative exhibition featuring artwork from the Canal Street Art Gallery's roster of represented artists and curated by the Bellows Falls gallery in the galleries of Main Street Arts, in nearby Saxtons River.
As these two art institutions continue to reemerge from the COVID-19 pandemic and recognizing a similarity in their missions, they say they are working together to strengthen the arts community in Rockingham.
The Canal Street Art Gallery Represented Artist Show at Main Street Arts exhibits artwork from Clare Adams, Jean Cannon, Nancy Fitz-Rapalje, Alexandra Fraser, Kathie Gatto-Gurney, Kim Grall, Corinne Greenhalgh, Carol Keiser, Nicholas Kekic, Marcie Maynard, Jeanne McMahan, Lisa Eckhardt McNealus, Charles Norris-Brown, MC Noyes, Phyllis Rosser, Melissa Rubin, Matthew Saxton, Gretchen Seifert, and Rodrica Tilley.
To celebrate this collaboration and to support the arts in Rockingham, CSAG will donate 20 percent of the total sales of artwork included in this show to MSA.
You can visit the art exhibit in person by appointment and online at canalstreetartgallery.com. The artists will appear at a reception at MSA on Sunday, July 11, from 4 to 6 p.m.
