River Arts is pleased to announce that Michel Droge will jury this show.

Droge’s solo exhibitions have been at the Maine State Capitol, University of Maine Farmington, June Fitzpatrick Gallery, Maine Audubon Society and the Frank Brockman Gallery. Their work has been included in national and international exhibitions amongst which include the Bates College Art Museum, The University of Maine, The Cue Art Foundation in NYC, ICA at MECA, Gould Academy, Boston University and Brandeis University.

This is a great time to become a member and participate at River Arts.
