Art sale at Elliot Gallery tomorrow

An exhibition and sale of unique, identically-sized artwork by local artists takes place at the Elliot Gallery, 27 Jubilee Road, Devonshire tomorrow evening. The one-off event is a fund-raiser for the Kaleidoscope Arts Foundation. Everything will sell for one price — $60 — and on a first come, first served basis.

Wanklyn exhibition opens Wednesday

'Translucent Reflections' is the title of artist Alicia Wanklyn's solo exhibition, which opens at the Elliot Gallery in Devonshire on Wednesday. A reception is planned for Monday, December 1 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., and it will close on December 2.

Small is beautiful at Dockyard gallery

The Bermuda Arts Centre at Dockyard launches its members' juried show, 'Small Works 3', on Sunday, November 30 from 5.30 p.m. to 7.30 p.m., and all are welcome. The evening will have a Christmas theme, and guests will receive a glass of champagne on arrival. There will also be a bar and canapés. Admission is free, but donations for the bar will be gratefully received.

Each artist can enter up to six pieces. Established artists including Chris Marson, Sheilagh Head, Jonah Jones, Diana Amos and Kok Wan Lee are among the exhibitors, and new artists will also be participating.

Oils, watercolours, acrylics, ceramics and mixed-media pieces will be included in the mix, and the work will be priced so that there is something for everyone. Keeping the sizes small — approximately 12 inches x 12 inches — and the prices low means it will be an opportunity for everyone to buy original art not only for themselves, but as unique Christmas gifts.

Fund-raiser for The Unit

Tickets ($40) will be available at Kit 'n' Caboodle and the IStore later this week.
