At the turn of the year, Tom Kerrigan and family took over the reins of the longstanding local business Riverside Gallery that has been a fixture in the Willetton community for around 30 years. A few months later an exciting opportunity presented itself: the adjoining unit became available, which had great potential as a gallery space so they undertook the lease and started work on turning it into a little piece of mid-century nostalgia.
Things really started to take shape when they partnered with Fineprint Co, a prestigious art curator from the Eastern States. This collaboration has allowed them to bring an exclusive collection of works to the gallery. Fineprint Co has consigned a stunning selection of Slim Aarons’ photography from the official Getty Images archive, offering our community a rare chance to experience Aarons iconic depictions of 1950s and 1960s high society.
Riverside Gallery have also provided an exceptional collection of works, including more from the Slim Aarons collection alongside pieces from artists Adam Fine and Mario Stefanelli both emanating from the Fineprint stable. Their creations perfectly complement the gallery’s aesthetic—an evocative blend of mid-century Mediterranean and Palm Springs style. There is of course a unique advantage for Riverside Gallery; as owner of both the gallery and the adjoining framing shop, they are able to offer fully customizable framing for every piece of art.
With a wide array of materials, frames, and expert techniques at our disposal, our team can help you tailor any artwork to suit your personal style and space. The selection is therefore not limited to what is on display, as you can leaf your way through the Fineprint catalogue at the gallery and select any piece of work which Riverside Gallery will curate with you to create your very own timeless masterpiece.
Our gallery is now open to the public, and we welcome you to come and experience this unique artistic journey.
Opening times: Weekdays 9-5 • Saturdays 9-1 By Appointment
