Creative Encounters offers the largest selection of regional art prints and photographs - historic and contemporary. The "Visit Keene" print depicts the historic Cheshire train crossing the drystone arch bridge in South Keene, and Mount Monadnock in the distance. It won New Hampshire Magazine’s 2009 Best of NH award for local print. In conjunction with Cheshire Historical Society, Creative Encounters is proud to offer the widest variety of historic prints of the region. And as authorized dealers of acclaimed artist Edward Gordon, the gallery carries his limited edition Giclée prints.
