Work by 15 regional artists is on display together for the first time at Chautauqua Art Gallery this holiday season. The show will open on November 30, (Small Business Saturday), from 10 am to 6 p.m. and will run until January 4.

Artwork will be displayed in a salon style show as a way of highlighting the common influences and inspirations of artists living and working regionally. Each piece will resonate with anyone who has spent time in this beautiful area. There will be a large variety of mediums from painting, pen and ink, photography,  fiber art, jewelry, small sculpture and more. Items in the show are mainly smaller in size making them perfect gifts for the holidays. Each item can stand alone or work well in a collection.
