It's almost time for the annual Holiday Show and Sale in the Upper Sisnett Lobby of the Halton Hills Cultural Centre.
If you're looking for Christmas gifts and want to support local, the event kicks off Dec. 5.
Mayor Ann Lawlor called the sale "a fantastic opportunity to discover and support local talent."
While attending the show, visitors are also invited to view the new exhibit at the Helson Gallery entitled the Transatlantic Paper Trail before it travels to Europe. Halton Hills is the only Canadian location for this international exhibition, which brings together the creations of Canadian, Swiss, and German artists.
The five Canadian artists, known as Pentavision, include Neville Clarke, Linda Kemp, Peter Marsh, Lin Souliere, and Rayne Tunley while the five European artists include Swiss artists Konrad Gruber, Reinhard Fluri, and Rudolf Stüssi, and German artists Karoline Koeppel and Uta Jeran.
Each artist has the freedom to express their unique style as there's no specific theme for this exhibition, which features abstract, realism, landscape and figurative styles.
The exhibit runs from Nov. 29 until Feb. 25 in the Helson Gallery and Lower Sisnett Lobby of the Cultural Centre.
An opening reception is set for Dec. 3 from 1 to 3 p.m. to meet the participating Canadian artists and enjoy live music.
"It’s exciting to see the Helson Gallery host such diverse exhibitions. I’m pleased that the Town can provide opportunities for residents and visitors to experience work from international, national and local artists,” said Lawlor.
The Helson Gallery is located at 9 Church St., Georgetown and is open Wednesday to Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m.
