The exhibition aims to foster a sense of community and gratitude during a season that emphasizes togetherness and kindness.

“Art has an incredible power to connect and change us, if we allow it,” says Sarah O’Reilly, the exhibition curator.

“With Unwrapped, we want to encourage viewers to reflect on the gifts we give and receive, both tangible and intangible. This exhibition serves as a reminder of the beauty in sharing our stories, our kindness, and our creativity.

The exhibition will showcase a range of artistic expressions, from paintings and sculptures to printmaking and mixed media. Each artwork is intended to spark conversations about the impact of our gifts, how they shape our relationships, and how they influence our perceptions of the world around us.

In addition to the exhibition, The Gallery will host a series of engaging events throughout the season, including artist talks and workshops, creating opportunities for visitors to delve deeper into the themes of the exhibition and connect with one another.
