Small Jewels Art Exhibition

Peninsula Gallery Presents: Annual “Small Jewels” Show, Small Works Priced for the Gift-Giving Season November 27 - December 31   Peninsula Gallery is once again hosting its annual show “Small Jewels.” Clients can shop early for the holiday season and fall in love with artworks that all cost $500 or less.     This show has been a staple in Peninsula Gallery’s exhibition schedule for 18 years. The collection features 130 original works from 30 artists. The lineup of local, regional, and international participants includes 22 repeat exhibitors and seven artists who are new to the show. The new artists include Aster da Fonseca, Siobhan Duggan, Carol Fastuca, Chloe McEldowney, Amy Shawley Paquette, Susan Shalowitz, and Sharon Waltersdorff.   This year’s exhibition is highly diverse, with works done in oil, acrylic, pastel, watercolor, and silkscreen, as well as uncommon techniques like Sumi-e ink wash and tape collage. The works encompass a wide variety of subject matters from animals and landscapes to still lives and contemporary abstracts.   Tony Boyd-Heron, gallery co-owner, says, “Each year, it’s very exciting to get the show up on the walls. It’s always sort of a shock walking into a room lined with so many paintings.”  “Small Jewels” is on display from November 27th to December 31st. Works from the show can be previewed at www.peninsula-gallery.com and are available for pre-sale.   A reception will be held on Saturday, November 27, from 5 to 6:30 pm. Please note, due to the rise in COVID-19 cases, we will be requiring timed entry for the reception. Call (302) 645-0551 or email peninsulagallery1@gmail.com to reserve a time slot.    The gallery is located in the Shops at the Beacon, 520 East Savannah Rd. Lewes, DE, and is open Tue-Sat 10-5, and Sun 11-3. Venue: Peninsula Gallery.
