2026 EXHIBITS

Exchange of Talents door banner.jpg

Since 2014, the Exchange Gallery has hosted about 90 open-call shows, and al,most 1,800 people have exhibited work here.  We have immense gratitude for each and every one of them: We very literally would not have a Gallery without the artists, who have shared thousands of artworks and thousands of stories.  They bring life life to this space; they are the heartbeat of The Exchange.

 

We asked all of these artists to reflect on us: What do The Exchange and the Exchange Gallery mean to you as an artist?  How has exhibiting in this space changed your experience of art, whether making art or displaying art or looking at art or thinking about art?  Have you formed new relationships through your experience at The Exchange?  Whether you bring new work, or something that you exhibited before -- perhaps the very first piece that you showed here, which for many of you means the first piece that you ever showed publicly anywhere -- we want to see artwork that speaks to these questions!

"Exchange of Talents" has 76 pieces by 29 artists who live in six central-Pennsylvania counties.  Some artists brought new work and some brought things that they'd exhibited before -- perhaps the very first piece that they'd ever showed here, which for many people means the first piece that they ever showed publicly anywhere.

The show runs Monday, May 4th, through Friday, June 12th, with a reception from 5:00 until 8:00 p.m. on Friday, June 5th

Belief door banner.jpg

A belief is defined as an acceptance that a statement is true or that something exists.  Beliefs can be a source of strength, conviction, or validation and can also be limiting or inflexible.  However, a belief can evolve or change.  What comes to mind when you think of the word belief?  As ever, we accepted all media, 2D and 3D, up to the size of our front door, with work from artists of ALL ages and levels of experience encouraged.

For this show, 38 people from seven central-Pennsylvania counties plus Elmira, N. Y., answered the call, with 126 pieces in a remarkable range of 2D work -- paintings, drawings, photographs, collages, and prints -- plus more than 20 3D pieces in a range of materials from wood to polymer clay to slime (yes, come feel it for yourself!) and handmade paper.  Of these artists, 13 of them had work at the Exchange Gallery for the first time.

The show runs Monday, March 23rd, through Friday, May 1st, with a reception 5-8 p.m. on Friday, April 3rd during First Friday in Bloomsburg.

Fairy Tales door banner 2026-01-16.jpg

Fairy tales have been prevalent in both Eastern and Western cultures throughout countless generations.  As folklore that has been passed down and changed throughout the years, these deceptively simple stories often tackle large subjects such as the human condition, moral ideologies, and societal expectations.  Many include elements of magic or enchantment.  Fairy tales continue to delight and charm audiences today in the form of novels, plays, and film, etc.

The Exchange asked to see artists' visual interpretation of fairy tales, and 42 people from six central-Pennsylvania counties answered the call, with 102 pieces in many media.  Of these artists, 13 of them had work at the Exchange Gallery for the first time, as we close in on 1,800 people having exhibited here since 2014!

The show runs Tuesday, February 17th, through Friday, March 20th, with a reception on Friday, March 6th.

Crossroads door banner.jpg

More than just a place where two roads meet, a crossroads can represent a turning point or a decision to make.  We posed this question: Whether literal or figurative, have you ever been presented with a crossroads?  "Crossroads" attracted work by 20 artists from nine central-Pennsylvania counties (Columbia, Montour, Northumberland, Schuylkill, Snyder, and Union); two of these artists had work here for the first time.

The show runs Monday, January 5th, through Friday, February 13th, with a reception on Friday, February 6th.
