November Exhibition: Sharing Small Treasures, Holiday Show featuring small works of Art

"Sharing Small Treasures" Holiday Gift Show and Food Appeal features small artwork-and big hearts.

 

Luscious lemon lilies that bring summer’s warmth to a cold winter’s day. Delicate porcelain jewelry glowing with color. A simple act of neighbor helping neighbor. Some of the best things in life really do come in the smallest packages. Those who appreciate the little things will enjoy “Sharing Small Treasures,” the holiday gift show featuring small artwork - and big hearts - at the Artists’ Cooperative Gallery of Westerly.

 

All are invited to the show’s Opening reception on Wednesday, November 6 from 5 to 8 PM, to hunt for small treasures, and bring some of their own. Visitors are invited to bring donations of non-perishable food, which will be delivered to the Pawcatuck Neighborhood Center, serving local communities in RI and CT.

 

An Artist’s Reception will also be held on Friday, Nov. 8 from 5-8 PM.

 

Discover the beauty of "Sharing Small Treasures" - whether it’s a shimmering pair of handmade earrings, a lovely, affordable print, or a gift of generosity sure to be treasured by a neighbor in need.
