Opening Reception for "Build & Destroy" Exhibition

RPAC Gallery, located at 410 Main Street, Ridgefield, is excited to present Build & Destroy. This exhibition will showcase the artwork of Josh Allison of American Metal Customs from July 13 – September 10, 2023. Opening Reception will be on Thursday, July 13th at 6:00pm.

“For some of our exhibitions, we like to present forms of art that aren’t conventionally represented in art galleries,” said RPAC Gallery Owner Dee Dee Colabella. “For the first time ever, we will have hand-crafted motorcycles displayed in the gallery, with the photography of Sumner Dilworth on the walls.”

With these complimentary art styles in the front of the gallery, and the always stunning artwork of the RPAC Resident Artists throughout the rest of the gallery, it will be yet another unique summer show.
