Serendipity at Tay River Gallery

Experience it for yourself. "Serendipity", the gallery group exhibition at Tay River Gallery during August and September holds the promise of some of life's little treasures of gratifying experience sometimes as simple and personal as an emotional connection with a particular painting and ultimately an artist's vision.

With " 24 plus" outstanding artists featured in a large and varied selection in terms of media, style and subject matter of close to 200 paintings , the exhibition is not meant to overwhelm, but aims to take you on a leisurely visual treasure hunt meant to be visited again and again so please do visit more than once, where you possibly may discover a special work or many, that move you particularly or strike a chord with a nostalgic memory of time or place. Every painting is as unique as the artist, viewer and response and that is part of the magic of working at the gallery for me, to marvel at the connections and the diversity. The serendipity factor of chance encounters is part of the reason we go to galleries to see art and who doesn't enjoy the element of mystery in their lives?

The added surprise or chance factor with this particular exhibition is a playful quirk of the curator this time around, with the unexpected addition of mystery guests and new wonderful paintings during the exhibition period. Need I say more? Please do take the time to enjoy what the art offers.
