To quote Marty McFly; a main character from the "Back to the Future" movie trilogies- "That was heavy"- meaning that was unbelievable and amazing! Yesterday was October 21st, 2015 otherwise known as Back to the Future Day and we had a wonderful day with artwork created by local artists inspired by the movie to celebrate it's 30th anniversary annnnnnnnnnnnd we also had a Delorean that just so happened to look like the famous Time Travel Machine that travels through decades in the 1980's classic. What a happy day it was...people that had never been in our gallery dropped in. Everyone had smiles on their faces and for even just a few moments, art took them on a journey away from their daily routines.
You can see the entire show online here...
SHOW ONLINE HERE!
Of course we encourage you to come and see the show in person too! Many of the works represented online are available as prints or originals too!
Here are some of our favourite pictures from yesterday, that really sum up the over all moods of the day.
Here's to the FUTURE! Things are looking brighter and brighter each day!
