An Exhibition of Art on Metal created from our original paintings by Tom Alway and Peter Blais has just recently finished. The show was displayed in our new Outdoor Art Gallery (A covered 10' x 20' pergola). The show ran from July 1st through October 15th and was the inaugural season of the Pergola. (click on the link above or the graphic below for a pdf of the metal art on display)
For our 25th Gallery Anniversary in 2023, we decided to build a pergola at the side and behind the barn gallery as a new outdoor gallery space. As we are now offering our images on metal, we decided to display a large selection of metal prints to celebrate the silver anniversary (1998-1923) in this space.
