VISUAL ARTS
Works in progress
Galleries plan an arts season full of eclectic exhibitions
By Maria Sonnenberg
Oils, watercolors, pastels, pen and ink, photography,
fiber arts, jewelry, sculpture. If it is an artistic
medium, Space Coast galleries probably have a show
in store with them.
In the Eau Gallie Arts District, Fifth Avenue Art Gallery and Eau
Gallery plan a robust schedule of events for the arts season,
beginning with plenty of Comfort & Joy, Fifth Avenue’s 40th
annual holiday fine craft show.
“We’ll be transforming the gallery to highlight all the
extraordinary items for this year’s show,” vice president of
publicity Renee Decator said.

“We invite fine craft artisans from across the country for this
spectacular showcase, bringing the best in pottery, glass, wood,
fiber, textiles, jewelry and more for the shopping pleasure of
our Brevard County patrons. Some of our crafters return year
after year, and others are new additions, which makes this twomonth
long exhibition fresh and new every year.”
Along with handmade, one-of-a-kind gifts for holiday giving,
the gallery will also feature unique home accents and holiday
ornaments and greeting cards. The show runs through Dec. 31.
The member-operated gallery typically opens new shows with
First Friday of the month receptions from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.
