Peter Pontiac: a retrospective
February 17 – March 29, 2024 in Café Bern
We proudly announce a retrospective of the work of Peter Pontiac: from February 17 to March 26 there is a beautiful selection of his work to admire in Café Bern. As usual, the exhibited work is also for sale.
Please feel free to drop by. From 4:00-6:00 p.m. you can come and see the exhibition at your ease. Or late at night, after 11:00 p.m., when the rather busy dinner time has finished and a lovely relaxed “after hours” atmosphere has descended on Café Bern.
Below you can already have a preview of some of the works exhibited at Café Bern.
