Opening: Thursday, May 15 at 7:30 pm


The McIntosh Gallery hosts the next phase of the River Project in an exhibition opening on Thursday, May 15 at 7:30 pm. with nearly all the artists present. This exhibition is the culmination of over two years of work by nineteen London artists who have responded to a portion of the Thames river as it flows through the City of London. Each of them celebrates a different section through a variety of media including painting, sculpture, prints, and poetry. It is of especial interest at a time when this community is engaged in the Creative Cities initiative which includes the unique waterway which has always been a part of our historical, cultural, and economic life. A special commemorative book has been generously supported by The Trillium Foundation and will be available for sale.
