River Arts is a wonderful gallery located in Damariscotta, Maine. Members apply to various juried shows throughout the year. Art openings at River Arts are lots of fun, and a great place to make and meet art-minded friends. River Arts is one of the first galleries where Joyanna shared her work. It’s always exciting to win a place in a River Arts show. If you’re traveling in Maine, be sure to include River Arts in your itinerary! For more info, check out https://riverartsme.org/
