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

The gallery is staffed by the artists who comprise the Co-op. The staff person on duty will be happy to discuss the artwork on display with you.

Jill Jensen:

“Weekly Quilts – Experiments and Discipline”

For 11 years I have been creating a small work of art each week.  The discipline of making a finished piece of art and journaling on the back side of it has prompted growth as an artist and served as a visual and written diary of my life.  These small quilts are a way to experiment with new techniques and ideas in addition to their role in making sure that I spend time working in my studio.

Bring your lunch and learn a new technique!
