In Finnish

Galleria Katariinassa avautuu Helsingin Taiteilijaseuran joulunäyttely "Väriä pimeyteen". Näyttelyn teemana on päävärit: sininen, punainen ja keltainen, joiden pohjalta taiteilijat ovat luoneet mitä moninaisimpia ja kiehtovimpia teoksia. Näyttely on laaja kattaus HTS:n jäsentaiteilijoiden eri tekniikoin toteutettuja töitä: maalauksia, piirustuksia, veistoksia, grafiikkaa ja valokuvia. Näyttely toimii take away-periaatteella eli näyttelystä voi ostaa tai lainata suoraan teoksia näyttelyn ollessa käynnissä.

Avaamme näyttelyn torstaina 16.12. Näyttely on silloin avoinna klo 14-19. Noudatamme AVI:n ajankohtaisia ohjeistuksia. Tulethan terveenä paikalle maskia ja käsidesiä käyttäen. Katsomme kaikilta koronapassin. Lämpimästi ja turvallisesti tervetuloa värin ja valon maailmaan Galleria Katariinaan!
