Rose Fredrick Project Space
The Rose Fredrick Project Space showcases work by outstanding contemporary realists of the Western US. Award-winning curator and art advisor Rose Fredrick brings her stable of painters, photographers, and sculptors to Gallery 1261 for special exhibitions throughout the year.
