AOY Art Center Small Works Show offers online and in-person shopping

Posted

The members of AOY Art Center have been busy creating inspiration for the Small Works Art Show and Sale opening at 6 p.m. Friday, Dec. 4.

Each artist takes a blank canvas not larger than 8 by 10 inches and enters it in the show with his or her own personal artistic flair. There are over 170 works of original art in a variety of formats: oils, acrylics, mixed media, watercolor, and photography by over 45 AOY member artists.

Look for works on canvas and works on paper by some of the area’s most popular local artists: Jeanne Chesterton, Connie Dierks, Rodney Miller and Marc Schimsky.

This year the show and sale has expanded to provide more options for holiday gift giving and includes some of AOY’s member artisans creations as well.

Look for Pysanka creations by Basia Andrusko (in both jewelry and ornaments), ceramic sconces with lighting featuring area locations by Fran Leyenberger, fused-glass creations by Gail McAllister, hand-sculpted ceramics by Nancy Allen, hand-felted wearable fashion accessories by Nelly Kouzmina and jewelry by April Zay of Hummingbird Arts.

“The Small Works Show is the only show we run where you can purchase the art and take it with you for holiday giving,” said Bette Sovinee, coordinator.

“But,” she added, “that also means that you’ll want to go to our website where we will open the online sales gallery as of 6 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 4, so that you have the best selection to choose from.”

Due to COVID-19 there is no in-person opening reception. Rather, AOY invites visitors for a Facebook Live Gallery Walk, also at 6 p.m. Dec. 4. Look for @artistsofyardley.

If purchasing online, AOY Art Center is offering the option of shipping at checkout. Curbside pickup for local patrons is also available.

Gallery hours are noon to 5 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays only, from Saturday, Dec. 5 through Saturday, Dec. 19, but shopping via the online gallery is open 24/7.

The AOY Art Center is located at 949 Mirror Lake Road in Lower Makefield on the Patterson Farm. For information, and to visit the gallery online, go to: aoyartcenter.org.
