“A Toast to the Coast” is the theme of the upcoming exhibition at Rivet Vintage Shop & Gallery featuring ten members of RaglanArt. It was seven years ago that the group had their first ever show at Rivet. Over that time span both the gallery and the group have grown in size.
With the title of the exhibition paying homage to the area in which we live it will be interesting to see the different interpretations of each artist. Another attraction for the artists, and the viewers, will be the use of the additional new exhibition space at Rivet.

You’ll find work by Richard Gemmell, Helma van der Pasch, Loesje de Bree, Julie Macdonald, Dyana Wells, Wanda Barker, Elsa Lye, Janet Scott, Lois Brooks and Catherine Houston. Amongst their ranks you will find a Fine Arts Honours degree, a Teaching degree and a Diploma of Sheep Farming!
