Promoting Fine Art Gift-Giving with Our Annual Holiday Exhibit

 20 North Gallery proudly announces All Gifts Great & Small, our 2010 Holiday Exhibit featuring bright and beautiful work by more than two dozen local, regional and international artists.  The exhibit opens Friday, November 5, 2010 and continues through January 15, 2011.  The exhibition is comprised of a wide range of media and prices—with each work being a perfect choice for a holiday gift. 

 The exhibit features nine paintings by Toledoan, David J. Eichenberg, whose intensely realistic, Old Master-quality oils have been winning international awards—the most recent being Third Award in the BP Portrait Competition in the National Portrait Gallery in London, England.  Eichenberg’s prize-winning painting will remain in the London National Portrait Gallery through 2011, but his award-winning oil Duchess of Toledo, a finalist in the Outwin-Boochever Portrait Competition 2009 at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C., will be a part of the 20 North Gallery All Gifts Great & Small exhibit.

Other participating painters in All Gifts Great & Small include: Anne Abate, Dean Davis, Adam Grant, Philip Hazard, Andrei Rabodzeenko, Richard Reed, Ruskin Stone, Robert Turley and Joseph Sheppard.  All Gifts Great & Small exhibited jewelers include: Kimberly Arden, Edith Franklin, Chelsea Hall, Emily Fray, Regina Jankowski, Julia MacLachlan, Rhonda Oertli and Robin Schultes.  Exhibited photographers are Steve Fuhlbrigge , Matt Mickel, Marcus Nunn and Daniel Steck, Jr.

Local artists and 20 North Gallery will be welcoming friends and collectors at the Free Opening Reception on Friday, November 5th, from 6 - 9p.m.  Gallery visitors will be able to speak one-on-one with the artists, while enjoying light refreshments—and a great opportunity to shop for wonderful fine art gifts for the holidays.
