Throughout the year, the artists at the Artists’ Cooperative Gallery of Westerly are busy creating small and affordable pieces with the holidays in mind. November’s show, “Small Treasures – the Joy of Giving” will feature two-dimensional and three-dimensional original artworks including paintings, glass, woodwork, pottery, jewelry, fabric, holiday cards and more.

The show will run from Nov. 1–26 with an opening reception, free and open to the public, from 5-8 Friday, Nov. 3.

Throughout the months of November and December ACGOW will be collecting donations of new art supplies to be delivered to the Jonnycake Center in time for the holidays. The Jonnycake Center (www.jonnycake.org) is a non-profit that provides food, clothing, educational and financial assistance to those in need in the Westerly-Chariho area. T
