THE GALLERY IN READFIELD

'She hunts best at night' by Cynthia Ahlstrin

Holiday Show
at
The Gallery

The Gallery has invited its artists to participate in a 100.00 dollars or less Holiday show. This show was created so that artists could put up original work at a lower price and so the community could afford original work and help support them by gifting art this year. Please consider buying local and gifting local. It's a win win! Call 522 7325 for Camille or contact each artist directly.
