Gallery Night

April 18 @ 5:00 PM - 8:00 PM

Valley Junction’s galleries come together to showcase new artwork by regional, national, and international artists during our bi-annual Gallery Night. This event is free and open to the public.

Gallery Night has grown into a popular community event. It is one of the largest merchant events in Historic Valley Junction and a terrific opportunity to rediscover this eclectic shopping district. The galleries of Historic Valley Junction offer original artwork, custom jewelry, ceramics, glass, furniture, folk art, and fine art reproductions, as well as many other one-of-a-kind objects. Gallery Night supports many locally owned businesses and showcases the community of Historic Valley Junction.

Sarah’s photographs are shot on film and not digitally edited. She uses multiple exposures and other techniques like soaking the film in household chemicals to create abstract images of common sights. She doesn’t truly know how any images will turn out until the film is developed.
