As COVID-19 continues, our gallery is
open during posted hours; see the home page for the latest.
We fully comply with Rhode Island's pandemic restrictions, and
masks are required when visiting, until further notice.
Times Are Tough Gallery, a tiny
(10’x11’) fine arts and craft venue, is the brainchild of
owner/curator Pia Hogue. As a working artist she says, “I love
the camaraderie of shows.” So when Hogue saw that the markets
where she and her fellow artists sold their work were closed due
to Covid, she decided to help by opening a gallery. “These are
my friends, these are great people and they are hurting”.
The DeBlois Gallery offered Times Are Tough Gallery their space
in Middletown for the month of February to give them the
opportunity to spread out and showcase even more local art. All
agree that the team-up was a resounding success!
