We strive to be deep listeners of all the stories in our midst and to honor the stories where the past, present and future are interconnected in fruitful ways. We aspire to be a community that welcomes all, that encourages the identification of individual gifts, and that enables people to use those gifts for the common good.”\n\nRFS’s Gallery Within highlights Reversing Falls Sanctuary’s mission to support the arts. “This beautiful space provides RFS the opportunity to support artists through professional-level exhibitions and artist events. We emphasize diversity – offering our space to established artists, those with diverse political messages, members of the LBGTQ+ community, and emerging artists. Our art programs, including classes for all ages, are central to who we are as a community.”\nRead art review in The Rising Tide\n\n
