The Delaware Valley Arts Alliance, or DVAA, is much more than just a gallery; it is the engine that drives the local arts scene. Housed in a beautiful historic building on Main Street, the organization manages two distinct gallery spaces: the Alliance Gallery and the Loft Gallery. Throughout the year, they host a wide variety of shows featuring everything from contemporary painting and sculpture to photography and mixed media.
A visit to the DVAA is a great way to see how the landscape of the Delaware Valley inspires the people who live here. The exhibits change frequently, so there is almost always something new to see. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, and the atmosphere is welcoming to everyone, whether you are a serious collector or just someone who appreciates good design. It is a peaceful place to spend some time during a walk through town, offering a bit of cultural depth to your trip.
In addition to the art on the walls, the DVAA also operates a small shop called Signature Gifts. This is a great place to find unique, handcrafted items made by local artisans, such as ceramics, jewelry, and books. Buying something here is a direct way to support the local creative economy and take home a piece of the valley that you won’t find anywhere else. The organization also hosts the annual Riverfest and various film screenings and performances, so it is worth checking their calendar during your stay.
For guests at Gilded Cage Escapes, the DVAA is a perfect recommendation for a more sophisticated, low-key afternoon. It is located just about 15 to 20 minutes away in Narrowsburg. Because it is indoors and climate-controlled, it is an especially good option for a rainy day or when you want a break from the sun after being out on the river or the trails.
We suggest stopping by the DVAA because it highlights the talented, artistic community that makes this area so special. After you have spent some time taking in the creative energy of the galleries, coming back to the high-design atmosphere of our property feels like a perfect match. We appreciate the same focus on aesthetics and quality that you find at the DVAA, and we provide the quiet, private space you need to reflect on everything you have seen.
