April 2011 Two Rivers Gallery upcoming exhibits and preview of the annual art auction Artists across the province working in any media were invited to submit work to be juried into this exhibition which will explore the theme "Us". As a collection of individuals we make up our families, our neighbourhoods, communities, towns and state, sometimes blending in easily to those around us, sometimes sticking out because of our differences. Homogenous or disparate, what makes us who we are? This exhibition offers a range of perspectives through recent work by artists from across View "Embody" in the New Works gallery. ###

August 2010
This summer marks the tenth anniversary of Two Rivers Gallery and we celebrate with our "alumni" exhibition, 10x10x10. Over 45 artists, who have exhibited in main gallery solo or small group shows over our first ten years, have contributed to the occasion. Each artist has responded to the challenge to create a 10"x10" work of art. The resulting artworks serve as reminders of past exhibitions and as a way of checking in on old friends.
