The gallery is part of the new Library @ Riverside and cabinet member for Culture and Tourism, Cllr Any Rushforth, said: "The gallery space in Riverside House has already been home to some fantastic exhibitions, all of which have really brought art to live.
"This latest exhibition is no different. By mixing these two vibrant art forms, there's the opportunity for a truly vibrant display which aims to reach out and be genuinely inspirational.
"Hopefully, with so many creative people in Rotherham, this exhibition will help to pull the community together and help create even more amazing artwork."
