The Hillsborough Gallery will open its holiday show, the Art of Giving, with a reception on Friday, November 25th from 6-9 p.m. and will celebrate its fifth anniversary, complete with birthday cake, at the same time.
The new show went up Monday, the 14th, so stop by any time before the opening reception to see the new work in its holiday setting.
The gallery's 22 members work in a variety of media, providing a wide array of art and fine craft for gallery goers and holiday shoppers. Offerings in glass include hand-blown vases and vessels, ornaments and paperweights; fused glass panels and jewelry; and glass mosaic pieces for windows and walls. Fiber art includes framed quilted art pieces; hand-knit shawls and scarves; and fabric handbags. Jewelry offerings cover a variety of styles and techniques in silversmithing, from copper and bronze to sterling and fine silver necklaces, earrings, bracelets and rings, some with gold accents and stones, to hand-crocheted sterling and copper pieces. Visitors will also find metal sculpture, pottery, turned wood, fine wood furniture and enameling on wood. Fine art photography, oil and acrylic painting, watercolor, and mixed media work round out the gallery's visual feast.
