Our regular season is over but we have 3 exciting weekend-only shows to wind up our 2024 season in the Gallery.
Our first exhibition features Marilyn Preus, an extraordinary maker of silk quilts, hangings and clothing embellished with stitching, bead work, and hand-dyed silk. This show will include many pieces that have never been shown publicly and most will be for sale. This is a rare opportunity to see meticulous, fine pieces crafted by an exceptional artist.
Marilyn’s work will fill the entire 3 rooms of the gallery.
The opening reception is Friday, Nov 8th from 2pm to 4pm.
On Saturday Nov 9th and Sunday Nov 10th, the hours are 1 – 3:30 pm.
(If you are unable to attend during those hours, email Flora Doehler to arrange another viewing time.)
Our second special November show brings us portrait photography from Bear River Artworks Gallery’s resident photographer, Gary Fraser.
For well over a year, Gary has invited Blues musicians from across Nova Scotia to be part of this show. Many arrived with instrument in hand and played for Gary during their portrait session.
Gary’s black and white photos capture the passion of the musician, the music and the photographer.
And if we are doubly lucky, there will be some live music involved.
The opening reception is Friday, Nov 15th from 6 – 8 pm. The show continues Saturday Nov 16 and Sunday, Nov 17 from 1 – 3:30 pm.
Our final presence in this beautiful gallery set in a Victorian house is on Saturday, Nov 23, 2024 when we take part in the village-wide Wintertide festival and welcome you to share some treats and refreshments with us as we toast the end of 10 seasons of Artworks Gallery. Open 11am – 3pm, November 23, 2024
On December 1 Gary Fraser, Flora Doehler and Crystal Pyne return to Sissiboo Coffee Bar and Gallery for 3 months, split between Bear River and Annapolis Royal.
And that’s a wrap for 2024!
