River's Edge Gallery, 3024 Biddle Ave., Wyandotte, presents "Loveart," featuring artwork, handmade cards, coloring books, hand-painted furniture and paper weavings by Irene Will and Pietro Di Giorgio's new book of poetry, "Lover's Walk."
Meanwhile, the gallery has three more exhibitions running simultaneously.
On the first floor is a collection of photorealistic wildlife oil paintings by Nancy Byrum.
Byrum's technique creates images of animals that look as though they could leap or fly right off the canvas.
On the gallery's mezzanine level, "Kindred Spirits" shows works by the late Arnold Dreifuss and the late Jim Slack.
Jim Slack's "Flyboy" and other works by him and Arnold Dreifuss are on display in "Kindred Spirits" at River's Edge Gallery.

Slack, founder of River's Edge Gallery, used a series of paintings that reflected aspects of his life. He also was a poet, and examples of both his art and poetry are in the exhibit.
Dreifuss was a community activist whose work consisted of primitive figures in a surrealistic world. He held a doctorate in education and psychology, and his paintings were metaphors based on his patients' dreams.
On the third floor, the two halves of Patricia Izzo's "20/20" exhibition that have been showing concurrently at River's Edge and Arianna Gallery in Royal Oak come together as "20 Plus 20."
The exhibitions will run through next Friday.
Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Fridays, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturdays and noon to 4 p.m. Sundays. For more information, call 1-734-246-9880 or visit www.artattheedge.com
