From Alex Colville to Claude Monet to Sean Starwars We're getting SO excited to share the latest Summer show, "Under the Influence" opening Friday, August 17th, 6:30-8:30pm and on display until September 1st! For this juried show, artists were asked to create new works that take inspiration from their favourite artists. The results are amazing and there are so many unique in styles, mediums and approach! A feast for the eyes!  All works will be online here on our blog, after the show has officially opened, but visit the FACEBOOK EVENT PAGE HERE for sneak peeks!  MEET ERIK the Halifamous PIG AT THE GALLERY THIS SATURDAY, 1pm-3pm You may ask yourself "WHY?" And we answer with "Why Not!"  Sketchers of all ages are encouraged to bring your drawing utensils, paper and capture Erik at the gallery. Or simply just drop by to pat the little fellow! We can hardly wait...squeeeeel! BUY ONE GET ONE! Don't forget that until August 18th, if you buy one print for $25, you can choose another and take it home for FREE. There are still lots of works to choose from and they make great gifts for any occasion or just because!
