About Last Saturday....

Last Saturday night was AWESOME per usual because so many of you made the journey to the gallery to check out the latest new shows by artist's Nick Brunt and Patrizia Berdkan during NOCTURNE! Your support is so important to us and our artists, but especially on nights like this! So much work goes into planning, creating and executing such an evening of art throughout the city. We're still tired from it all, but a good tired! :-)

One great show coming up is the STICK 'EM UP SHOW....hundreds of stickers designed by local and Canadian artists! Perfect for gift- giving for the holiday season approaching too!

In December we'll be showcasing new works by gallery artists each week, beginning with a meet and greet with artist Jack Ross on Friday, December 1st, 6pm-8pm. Below is just one of the paintings that will be included in that showcase! So wonderful!
