three variations on domesticity

Thomas Gartside: Bee Hotels

Thomas Gartside has created a set of "hotels" for wild bees - temporary lodgings that can provide shelter for this
endangered category of pollinators. While they inhabit an esthetic space at the intersection of whimsy, craft and sculpture
they are also a very practical solution - ready to be placed in a garden. These "hotels" will be on silent auction
during the run of the exhibition, with all proceeds to benefit bee conservation through Penn Environment.

Bidding on the hotels may be done at the gallery or by emailing a bid to <info@tandm.us>.
Each hotel has a minimum of $100 or $150 as indicated below.

In your bid please indicate the number of the hotel you are bidding on and the amount of your bid.
Also, a phone number and the mailing address for shipment should you be the winning bidder.
The quickset means of payment will be PayPal although payment by check will be acceptable.
