A watercolor that brings summer’s warmth to a cold winter’s day.  A delicate leaf-shaped silver choker that feels like a hug from nature. A simple act of neighbor helping neighbor. Some of the best things in life really do come in the smallest packages. Those who appreciate the little things will enjoy “Small Treasures,” the holiday gift show featuring small artwork - and big hearts - at the Artists’ Cooperative Gallery of Westerly.
 
As the Artist’s Cooperative Gallery celebrates its 20th year, the approach of winter is the perfect time to support the neighbors who have supported ACGOW for 20 years - with what has become an annual November food appeal. This year’s donations will go to the Pawcatuck Neighborhood Center, serving local communities in RI and CT.
 
All are invited to the show’s Opening reception on Wednesday, November 7 from 5 to 8 PM, to nibble hors d’oeuvres, hunt for small treasures, and bring some of their own. Visitors are invited to bring donations of non-perishable food, which will be delivered to the Pawcatuck Neighborhood Center through the end of the show on Dec. 1. Suggested items for Thanksgiving baskets include instant mashed potatoes, stuffing mix, rice, gravy (canned or in envelopes,) macaroni and cheese, canned corn, peas and yams, canned fruit and cranberry sauce. Items needed year round include pasta and sauce, canned meat (e.g. Spam, stews,) beans, canned fruit, peanut butter & jelly, powdered milk, juice.
 
The PNC improves and enhances the quality of life of local residents of all ages by providing basic human needs including food, heating and utility assistance, job search assistance and senior transportation to obtain medical care. And right now, they, and those they serve, need help more than ever.  For more information, please visitwww.the-pnc.org.
 
Discover how beautiful small can be - whether it’s a shimmering pair of handmade earrings, a lovely print, or a gift of generosity sure to be treasured by a neighbor.
 
November’s show features works in oils, watercolors, acrylics, photography, glass, pottery, fiber arts, sculpture and more. And of course, as always at the Artists’ Cooperative, shopping is tax-free. 
 
And don’t forget to visit the new Back Room Art Gallery for more small treasures including prints.
 
The Opening Reception will be held in conjunction with the monthly first Wednesday night Art Stroll held in downtown Westerly and Pawcatuck, when shops, galleries and restaurants will be open.
