THE PLACES WE CALL'HOME'
A CELEBRATION OF OUR SACRED CONNECTIONS TO THE EARTH AND TO ONE ANOTHER
During the summer of 2026 here at the Iva Smith Gallery, we are aspiring to share heart-based artwork that inspires viewers to reflect on our sacred connections to the land and to one another.
In our main gallery, view paintings by Paul Saphier inspired by his passionate love of the North Country and especially the St. Lawrence River.... SACRED RIVER
​​
In our entry gallery, enjoy the eloquent photography of Gary Walts in his show
THE FARM FAMILY AND OTHER FOLKS:
THE COMPASSIONATE LENS OF GARY WALTS
​
Our upper deck gallery will showcase the paintings of Joan Applebaum and the decorative gourds of Gretchen Starks-Martin in a collaborative exhibition,
HEARTBEAT OF NATURE: CONNECTED BY WATER.
The radiant plein air pastel paintings of Catherine LaPointe-Vollmer will be found in the Gallery Cow-fé in her exhibition
NORTHERN TALES IN TEXTURE & LIGHT
Selected works by Dawn Oman and Rollin Hanson will once again be available.
We will also be sharing the meditations in wood -- bowls, cutting boards and more-- of Dennis Del Rossi and--for the first time!-- the Raku ceramics of his daughter Rebecca Del Rossi.
For the first time, our gift shop will offer the beautiful, natural skincare products of Claudia Loomis Chandler.
Come on out and celebrate this beautiful confluence of 'THE PLACES WE CALL HOME’ at our GRAND ART OPENING
