Holiday Treasures Opening - A Great Success!

The Sebastian River art Club welcomed many visitors during the Opening Reception for "Holiday Treasures - Ornaments d'Art," and many of the beautiful original mini paintings went home with new owners, with all proceeds to benefit the Ecumenical Council's Food Pantry in Roseland.

Artists will continue to paint works right up until Christmas, so there will always be new works on display and available, with all proceeds to benefit the Food Pantry.

After the Opening, many from the Club moseyed over to Inlet Wines to celebrate Kristen Beck's Opening of her show there.  Another good time was had by all, and we all enjoyed hearing about Kristen's adventurous treks across the wilderness, and what her art represents.

November's theme for members of the gallery spaces is "Lighthouses" - a popular subject for painters.  Be sure to visit the spaces and vote for your favorite ones - ribbons will be awarded for the three most popular.

COMING SOON ~
December will bring Still Life works to the Hume Gallery space, open to all Art Club members.  This blogger has seen some wonderful still life works created by our members, and so it should be a wonderful show.  A preview is shown below.

The Tree is Up!

The Sebastian River Art Club's "Holiday Treasures" Christmas tree is up and lit and decorated in the Picasso Gallery where we have an ongoing small works exhibit decorating the gallery walls.  On the Christmas tree are dozens of lovely little paintings, all to benefit the Ecumenical Council's Food Pantry, to help feed the needy for the holiday season.

Below is a pic of the lovely tree, adorned by beautiful works of fine art--original each one!

Works are available for viewing and purchasing as of November 1st, although we hope our members can hold off buying any more until the public gets a gander of them.  $10 each, and 100% to benefit the above-named charity.  Opening reception will be Friday, November 8th, 3-6 pm.  Stop by and immerse yourself in color and beauty, enjoy refreshments, and chat with all the artists. 

Members will continue to create these little "jewels" for the public to purchase and enjoy ... our gift to the needy, the City, and our townfolk.  When have you ever heard of being able to buy an original work of art for $10?  It is a labor of love, and we are proud to use this opportunity to give back to the community, in the spirit of Christmas.
