3 Rivers, Stones, Visions

Join OARS 3 Rivers for an evening of art, nature, and community at 3 Stones Gallery. This special event will celebrate our rivers through the breathtaking work of three talented artists—Jennifer Johnston, Jonathan MacAdam, and Colleen Pierce—each offering unique perspectives on the natural world. From captivating landscapes to reflections on nature’s textures, the multimedia exhibit will immerse you in the beauty and wonder of the environment we strive to protect.

As you explore the gallery, you’ll also learn about OARS’ newest initiative, “Now That’s Paddling”—a program that breaks down economic barriers to river access by offering free monthly paddles and equipment, making our rivers more accessible for all.

Join us and experience art, nature, and conservation coming together in harmony. Whether you’re an art enthusiast, nature lover, or simply passionate about protecting our rivers, this event promises to be an inspiring evening.
