1. River’s Edge Gallery does not have “shows/exhibitions” for contemporary artists that we do not represent.

2. River’s Edge Gallery exhibits Fine Art and Contemporary Craft. This primarily include painting, fine art photography, mixed media, sculptural and functional works in glass, ceramics, textile, wood and metal, and a select collection of jewelry.

3. The Gallery represents artists at all levels of their development, including emerging, mid-career and senior artists.

Please note the following

  • All submissions are subject to review by gallery director.
  • Owing to large volumes of submissions received, we will only be able to respond to those proposals which would be appropriate for our gallery.
  • We will endeavor to respond in a timely manner to all submissions. We appreciate your patience.
  • Due to large amount of submissions, we are unable to provide specific feedback, i.e. suggestions, critiques, etc.
  • All jpeg images of work MUST be labeled clearly and MUST match titles of works. Failure to label images clearly may negatively impact your submission.
