The Riverviews Artists’ Co-Op Gallery represents many of the artists who are tenants of the facility. The original art ranges from realistic to abstract, the media from oils and acrylics to photography, needlework, encaustic, etchings and serigraphs. The gallery serves as a catalog of available styles and methods and points the way to more extensive offerings in the individual studios.

Every two months a new and different show is mounted. A member artist is featured on the front wall.

The hours of operation are:
Wed – Friday, noon – 3pm
Sat & Sun, 1 – 4pm
