Our 2023 Show

Again this year, we’ll welcome a wider range of themes and styles , e.g., more portraits, abstract works and multi-media.

Plus, this year’s Art on the Rocks will be the same great opportunity it’s always been to display your art.

This is a juried show. We’ll have an Artists’ Reception and Awards Ceremony. Dates and times TBA.
