Bayfield Artist Guild Lights Up December at the Co-op Gallery

Bayfield Artist Guild (BAG) member Lori Webb Thompson.

The Goderich Co-op Gallery is pleased to welcome the Bayfield Artist Guild as its Visiting Artists for the month of December.

Based in Bayfield, Ontario, the guild is a vibrant collective dedicated to supporting and encouraging artists in the village and surrounding area.

Through workshops, guest speakers, and community connections, the guild fosters creativity and provides an inclusive space for visual artists at every level.

Their December exhibit features recent work by member artists, offering a glimpse into the talent and imagination thriving within the Bayfield arts community.

Holiday gift inspiration abounds at the Co-op Gallery this season. In addition to the work of resident painters, potters, jewelry makers, glass artists, and woodworkers, the gallery is also pleased to showcase four featured Christmas Artisans, presenting work in fused glass, woodwork, and painting, ensuring there’s something unique for every art lover on your list.

Visitors are also encouraged to explore the gallery’s Gift Shop, which features a wide selection of original art and handcrafted items priced at $50 and under, ideal for thoughtful holiday giving.

Music will fill the gallery on Friday, November 28, when the award-winning a cappella harmony group Romancing the Tone performs from 4 p.m. until 6 p.m. Visitors are invited to enjoy an evening of art, song, mocktails, and appetizers.

To round out your seasonal shopping, the gallery once again presents its annual Silent Auction, featuring an exciting selection of artwork by member artists.

Items can be viewed in person at the gallery or browsed and bid on online. Bidding closes on Friday, December 5, so be sure to get your bids in before the deadline.

The Co-op Gallery extends heartfelt thanks to its visitors and supporters for continuing to stop in throughout the extensive construction on the Square this spring, summer, and fall.

With work now wrapping up for the season, front-door access is once again fully open for visitors, making it the perfect time to stop in.
