Riverside Arts
Riverside has created an art program providing individuals with the necessary tools to explore their own creative potential and employment opportunities through self-expression. This program provides people with disabilities an in-depth, perhaps first time, opportunity to make art and exhibit their work in the community.

We believe every individual has the potential to flourish through the creative process. Participating in the arts gives individuals a sense of purpose, self-empowerment, and community. Exhibitions of artwork provide opportunities to share these accomplishments with others creating self-esteem and pride in achievements. Art exhibits foster awareness in the broader community and promote community involvement and inclusion.

Paul Hetzel "Walls Of Stone"

September 2 — September 29

This exhibit of black and white images taken at various sites around the world tries to capture the forces of wind, rain, the movement of tectonic plates and other forces of Nature in the creation of walls of stone. These walls are quite different from the man made stone walls and fences familiar to us in New England.

Opening Reception: During the Amherst Art Walk, September 3, 2015

Heat of the Moment

Heat of the Moment is the last exhibition in the 2015 Radakovich 21st Century Award competition juried by Arline Fisch and Jean Radakovich.  Celebrating sculptural adornment and art of the 21st century, viewers are invited to try on artworks and reflect on the stylistic, technical, and cultural connections between the 20th mid-century modern masters and this century's contemporaries.

Local sculptor, Steve Saxenian, is represented by FOLCWALD and will have rotating artworks on display at each exhibit.  Currently on view: award winning “Tumbling Lioness” and a poignant tribute to the late Hrand Saxenian.

FIVE BY FIVE

FEATURED ARTISTS: Amanda Barrow, Scout Cuomo, Isabel Margolin, B.Z. Reily, and Jane Thurber

September 3 – 28

This September, Hope and Feathers Framing introduces Five by Five, a group show featuring the works of Amanda Barrow, Scout Cuomo, Isabel Margolin, B.Z. Reily, and Jane Thurber. In celebration of our fifth year in business, we asked five of our favorite artists who have shown in the gallery over the past five years to create five new works inspired by one of the five elements. An opening reception will be held on Thursday, September 3. 2015 from 5:00 to 8:00pm in conjunction with the Amherst Art Walk. The show will run from September 3rd through the 28th, 2015.

The public is also invited to attend an anniversary celebration in the Hope and Feathers side lot, featuring a free performance by And the Kids, and tacos from the Taco Tina Food Truck by Mission Cantina. This exhibition not only showcases unique interpretations of the elements, but also the diverse styles and mediums used by these featured artists. Utilizing print making, Amanda Barrow addresses the element of metal. In paint, Scout Cuomo studies water. Building mosaics, Isabel Margolin depicts fire. With assemblage and sculpture, B.Z. Reily manifests wood. Through collage, Jane Thurber examines earth and soil.
