Along with having the opportunity to meet and chat with the artists in the gallery, we also offered LEGO print making for anyone interested to try!
Aaron and his assistant-for-the-day Czarina David did an excellent job facilitating that.  

It was great to see so many folks, both regulars and new faces, popping by to enjoy our print station and the afternoons events!

Admiring their good work!

We love our customers!

So many happy faces!

Love seeing folks of all ages come out get involved in our fun & free community events!

While folks were busy making LEGO prints found objects artist Ed Beals was busy sorting out his gears and gadgets!

Lots of awesome bits and bobs brought in by Ed! You can make art out of anything!

Check out this wobbly doll eye! Ed joked about how big and elaborate of a machine could he make just for the purpose of wobbling this little eye... I hope that joke makes it out of the studio!

LEGO artist Zachary Steinman brought us an exciting little collection of his LEGO sculptures

Ed and Zachary discussing the details of Zachary's LEGO sculptures... artist's never stop learning! 

Check out the awesome LEGO works Zachary brought us for the showcase below!

This sweet little Robot Buddy may look cute but we're a little worried about this big red button he's holding... at least we're enjoying the music coming from Zachary's LEGO "Radio Cassette Player"!
(pictured in the background, please note it doesnt play actual music)

Cubes cubes cubes! Zachary is known for his creative LEGO cube designs!

We couldn't get very good reception from this LEGO "Retro TV"... but we still loved all its nostalgic charm! (Psst this TV can hold an Ipad!)

Zachary also brought us his topical "Flag" LEGO sculpture, all proceeds from this piece will be donated to the local charity Adsum House. 

Our awesome gallery full of even more AWESOME art!

Thank you to all the artists and folks for such a fun afternoon! 

We have something exciting planned every weekend at the gallery for the next couple weeks, including but not limited to: Live music, a LIVE owl, Halifax inspired Tarot reading and tons of new art! 

Stay tuned as we release more info on upcoming events!
