A Quick Update

It's been extremely busy here at Gallery ArtPlus lately.

The new exhibit is set to open on October 3rd. So the prepping of receiving, photographing, returning and receiving all the pieces of our four featured artists has been a process - to say the least!
Unfortunately, one of our featured artists, Anne Ireland, had to postpone the display of her pieces from the October show until next spring/summer. She has displayed here in the past and we look forward to working with her and featuring her art again in 2010!

Luckily though, another artist who was set to display here in November of this year was able to prep her pieces in time for the October show. Her name is Marie Timbers and we look forward to promoting her work in Belleville and the surrounding area!

I have received new pieces from Roger Bodley. See below:

SallyMcKay dropped off some pieces to have sold over Christmas at the Gallery Giftshop. Visit her website to get an idea of her work: www.poshit.ca. I will have pictures posted later in the week of the specific pieces we have in the gallery!

Bruce St.Clair and I have finally decided upon dates to begin the oil painting classes that will take place in the downstairs gallery. I will be releasing dates and course prices early next week.

On a similar note, Steven Draper, a photography artist who has shown here in the past has also decided to teach a course at the gallery. His course will be a basic photography and camera functionality course that will begin in late October/early November. Stay tuned for exact dates and course prices!

We returned several pieces of Brian Lorimer's work yesterday. It was a terribly unfortunate event, but luckily we still have enough work to fill the upstairs gallery. A new exhibit featuring the work of Jesus Estevez's students is set to begin later in the fall.

Next week I am meeting with David Alexander Risk to discuss what I hope to be a very exciting show opening in November. I will update after our meeting on Tuesday.

Other than that, several new artists have decided to display and sell their work in the gallery. More pieces will be received next week. As well, several changes of display have been made upstairs.

The Gallery is now changing on a weekly, and sometimes daily basis! So please come in and visit to see what Gallery ArtPlus has to offer you!
