Gallery B, curated by Jill Parry, presents a series of “mini-shows” throughout the year as part of the greater RAC Gallery. These shows serve as a platform for emerging and mid-career visual artists — to further and promote their professional development by presenting their work at The Rye Arts Center.

Experience the transformative power of art in the community! Our public art initiatives bring vibrant, thought-provoking installations to shared spaces, sparking connection and creativity for all. From murals to sculptures, these works celebrate diversity, imagination, and the enduring impact of artistic expression.

The Rye Arts Center is proud to showcase the incredible talent of our Artist Members, a diverse group of creatives who enrich our community with their vision and artistry. From painters and sculptors to photographers and mixed media artists, these members represent a wide range of styles and mediums. Their work is regularly featured in exhibitions, pop-up events, and community projects, offering both inspiration and connection to the arts. By becoming one of our Artist Members, you help nurture a vibrant artistic culture in our community.
