All Things Bright and Beautiful at Minto Arts Gallery exhibition
HARRISTON – The bright colours and diverse talents of the region’s creative community are displayed at the Minto Arts Gallery, kicking off September with a burst of vibrant inspiration.
The gallery, located on the third floor of the Harriston library branch, hosted an opening reception on Sept. 3 for its latest exhibition, All Things Bright and Beautiful.
Featuring an eclectic collection of works by members of the Saugeen Artists Guild, the show attracted local art enthusiasts, community members and creators.
Many of the artists were on hand greeting visitors, discussing creative processes, and sharing the stories behind their latest pieces.
The exhibition, organized by the Minto Arts Council, lives up to its title, filling the three-room gallery space with a vivid variety of mediums.
Visitors can explore everything from original paintings and intricate stained glass, to handcrafted jewelry, photography and unique cards.
All Things Bright and Beautiful runs until Sept. 30. Admission is free.
Much of the artwork is available for purchase.
Next month, the gallery is set to host a group of artists from Holstein, and in November The Magic of Photography will be featured.
The Minto Arts Council is planning an online auction from Nov. 27 to Dec. 7 to help support local art and the council’s annual programs.
