The gallery owners and artists will tell you about specific artworks and answer your questions. You will learn about established and emerging artists. Lively discussions often ensue – no prior art knowledge needed!
Enjoy art up close and personal while getting to know downtown Roanoke. You will be amazed and pleased to discover what each unique gallery displays. Behind every door is an artistic treat. No two galleries are alike, and each one should be explored. Don’t hesitate to ask questions, don’t hesitate to talk theory, and don’t hesitate to make a purchase!
