weekends to Dec. 23 ~ Allan's Artists
SilverStone Gallery is thrilled to present "Allan's Artists", a showcase of PRAC artists featured by Allan O'Marra in News Advertiser over the past four years. Don't miss your opportunity to see some original works by these talented Durham artists.
One-of-a-kind gifts in the gallery
Looking for that special gift for your family or friends or perhaps an unique treasure for yourself? Look no further than SilverStone Gallery.
Local artists and artisans will solve your gift giving starting December 1, with treasures from $10 to 1000. Last year many Secret Santas visited the gallery and purchased custom bookmarks, books, earrings and handmade-glass icicles. For Santas with a larger budget jewellery by Durham's own local craft artisans is a definite hit. This year we are introducing a selection of sculptures by stone carver Gordon Reidt.
While you are browsing the diverse Christmas gift items in the gallery allow yourself to be tempted and indulge in one of the original paintings in our current "Allan's Artists" Exhibition. This show features artwork by exceptional Durham artists who have been profiled over the past four years in News Advertiser by Allan O'Marra.
Be sure to shop early for best selection. SilverStone Gallery is open weekends in December between the 1st and 23rd from 12 to 4 pm.
