3.   Baxters Gallery, art, food and cocktails

Sarah Duggan reports: Baxters in Foss Street, Dartmouth is launching a mixed exhibition showcasing many artists who are new to the gallery on October 22nd through to November 11th.

All artists will be working around a palette of shades of white with some subtle highlights of other tones. It will be an exciting opportunity to see so many artists featured together whose work has not been seen in Dartmouth before. Expect to see paintings, etchings, ceramics, paper-cuts, driftwood and pebble sculpture, glass and enamels from both established and new artists. The private view is Friday October 22nd 6 – 9pm and the exhibition can also be seen online by clicking here.   The exhibition launch co-incides with Dartmouth Galleries Week when most of the Dartmouth galleries host a private view on the same evening.

As the Food Festival is on at the same time Baxters will be showing part of the exhibition in one of our best restaurants, Anzac St Bistro. Thanks ever so.  Do come for a cocktail!  Yes, Dartmouth dot TV will be there sipping a cocktail or two!
