RiverWoods Seniors' Art Gallery Up

The following is from the Provident Bank:

The Provident Bank’s Lobby for the Arts in Exeter presents “The Art of RiverWoods,” an exhibit featuring diverse works by some of the artist residents at the RiverWoods retirement community in Exeter. The exhibit is on display to the public during regular bank hours through the end of September at The Provident Bank’s Exeter branch located at 95 Portsmouth Avenue.

The public is invited to an Artist’s Reception honoring the artists from RiverWoods on Thursday, September 27, 2012, from 5:30-7:00 pm at The Provident Bank, 95 Portsmouth Avenue, Exeter. Light refreshments will be served.

Works like "Snuggled Up," shown above, are on display.

More than 600 residents of 62 years and better make up the diverse community of RiverWoods, the Seacoast's nationally accredited independent continuing care retirement community. Residents with diverse life experiences come from across the country to settle in Exeter, bringing with them or rediscovering their talents for the arts: from painting and drawing to three-dimensional sculpture. The artworks in this show were selected from among 140 submissions; several pieces are featured in RiverWoods’ first art calendar. The community is encouraged to come enjoy the art of these talented residents.

The Provident Bank’s Lobby for the Arts program, celebrating its 15th year, is an ongoing series of local art exhibits displayed at all The Provident Bank branch lobbies. It receives no commissions for artwork sold, and pays all expenses associated with the exhibit. The Provident Bank has been recognized for its commitment to building a creative community with a 2012 New Hampshire Business Committee for the Arts (NHBCA) Business in the Arts Award for its Lobby for the Arts program as well as for its support of local arts and cultural organizations throughout the Seacoast New Hampshire region.
