20 Year History:

2006: Delightful, the exhibition of the works by Minneapolis artists Jennifer Davis and Amy Rice debuted at Rosalux Gallery

“Davis and Rice create work that is inviting and succinct and when paired together, complimentary, and

convenient. [They] use repeated iconography and ... open a visual exchange in response to each other's work. As

such Delightful becomes a dual monologue that considers identical themes rather than collaborations” - Pulse Magazine 8/9/06 (Christopher Koza) 

…the right combination of indisputable talent and easy-going whimsy…local mixed media artists Jennifer Davis and Amy Rice have what it takes to back up the name. - The Onion 8/1/06

“Jennifer Davis and Amy Rice share a penchant for creating illustrative, dreamlike art, by turns both whimsical and melancholy…demonstrates the pairs refreshingly wry, almost pop art sensibility.”  -Minnesota Monthly 8/06

2007: Delightful Too exhibition opened at Young Blood Gallery in Atlanta, GA 

“[Delightful Too] is infused with a friendly, two-peas-in-a-pod vibe...the artists play off each other's work evoke bonds that often form in female friendships with their similar rhymes of back-and-forth admiration and borrowing. - Creative Loafing Atlanta

2011: Delightful 3 brought a pop-up exhibition to The Historic Minnesota Building in downtown Saint Paul

“…note the works in which their influence on each other is evident. Nostalgia and mystery, innocence and dark impulses, found objects and images wistfully recontextualized, the whimsical, the profound.” - City Pages

“I was in la la land surrounded by these gorgeous paintings.” - Decor8

2016: Delightful 10 at Track 19 Gallery acknowledged a decade of mutual appreciation and demonstrated the evolution of their paintings and mixed-media pieces.

2026: We invite you to attend the fifth iteration of this special exhibition, Delightful 20: Two Decades of Celebrating Art and Friendship with Jennifer Davis and Amy Rice.
