The Franklin Gallery at RiverStones Custom Framing, 33 N. Main Street, Rochester, will host an exhibit called From the Many - One.

This exhibit will include a single work from each of more than 20 Seacoast New Hampshire/Southern Maine artists and will run through the month of January. The Gallery will host an Artists Reception for the exhibit on Jan. 4 from 5-6:30 p.m. The public is invited to come and see the exhibit and meet some of the artists. Light refreshments will be served.

The exhibit will include works in various media from both well established and emerging artists and photographers, including Ross Bachelder of Berwick, Maine; Ron St. Jean of Barrington, Barbara Zolli Albert of Dover and many more.

The From the Many - One exhibit is especially rewarding because it presents Seacoast area art enthusiasts with a rare opportunity to see an exceptionally wide range of artists of diverse ages, interests and backgrounds, all together in one interesting, provocative show.

The Franklin Gallery and RiverStones Custom Framing are open Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Unless otherwise indicated, all exhibited Franklin Gallery artworks are available for purchase.
