EXHIBITIONS

The Ace Gallery, Ace Building, 17 Woodbourne Avenue, Hamilton Please note that part of the current Birdsey exhibition will remain hanging in the general lobby area. Alfred Birdsey: An Exhibition of Paintings by Alfred Birdsey from the Collection of E. Michael Jones. Until December. As one of Bermuda's most celebrated artists, Alfred Birdsey stood alone for most of the second half of the 20th century as the only modernist painter working in Bermuda. Entirely self-taught, it is believed he started painting in 1927 at the age of 16. This exhibition of paintings is selected from the extensive collection of E. Michael Jones, one of Birdsey's major collectors. The paintings, all from the 1970s and 1980s, span a period when Birdsey created his most accomplished works. The gallery is open weekdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Groups should call for an appointment on 295-5200
