If you’ve never had the opportunity to explore the expansive vineyards of Tuscany, take in the idyllic landscape of Sicily or relax on the shimmering coast of Puglia, this new art exhibition in the heart of Old Town will show you all these views and more.

“From Italy With Love” celebrated its opening at Il Gelato di Carlotta’s gallery space on Saturday. The collection showcases the creations of artists who took part in artist and instructor Sandra Iafrate’s painting workshops throughout Italy.

The exhibition, running from now until June 30, is described as “an invitation to experience the colour, warmth and romance of Italy,” by Iafrate in a media release.

The local artist travels to the country every year to teach immersive painting workshops. Her workshop participants paint on location in regions such as Sicily, Umbria, Tuscany and Puglia.

The exhibition includes a variety of media, including oil, acrylic and mixed-media painting, showcasing a range of styles and artistic voices from representational to abstract work.

“Painting on location and immersing ourselves in daily life in Italy creates a deeply inspiring experience, and this show celebrates that shared artistic exploration,” said Iafrate.

Alongside the main exhibition, select overflow works will also be presented at Gate Street Studio, Iafrate’s NOTL studio and creative space.

Il Gelato di Carlotta is located at 59 Queen St.
