NARROWSBURG – Delaware Valley Arts Alliance (DVAA) is delighted to announce the opening of two new exhibitions, Slip by Melissa Wilkinson (Warwick, NY) in the Alliance Gallery and Works On Paper by Nancy Wells (Damascus, PA) in the Loft Gallery & Krause Recital Hall. These electrifying exhibitions explore the work of two women at very different stages of their careers. On view from August 9 –  September 14.

Opening Receptions for both exhibitions will take place on Saturday, August 9 from 4-6pm.

Melissa Wilkinson - Slip

Alliance Gallery

Coffee and Conversation with Melissa Wilkinson: September 6 at 1pm. 

A traditionally trained watercolorist, Melissa Wilkinson creates her meticulously rendered surrealist work by first creating digital collages which she then paints using classic photorealist techniques.

By reassembling and re-contextualizing elements of human bodies clipped from pop culture source material, Wilkinson explores traditional gender expression in Hollywood and beyond. Her mandala-like work repeats body parts (legs, arms, roller skates) in radial patterns, creating a feeling of movement, maximalism and queer joy.

Nancy Wells - Works On Paper

Loft Gallery

During her seven-decade career, Nancy Wells has worked in paint, print-making, photography, fiber arts, doll-making, poetry, sculpture, just about any medium that suited her vision. She was even on the forefront of digital image making in the 1990s.

In this very special exhibition, DVAA are delighted to present a cross section of Wells’ works on paper, including work created during her 14 years at the legendary Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop in NYC.

A portion of gallery sales from this exhibition will be donated to local 501(c)(3) Growing Older Together.

DVAA is located at 37 Main Street, Narrowsburg.

Walk-ins are welcome, and our galleries are ADA-accessible. Gallery & Shop hours are Thursdays – Sundays, 11am -4pm, and by appointment.
