Opening Reception & AGM March 31, 2019

3/19/2019

Gallery Members respond to the call from Guest Curator Jane Everett...

"... daily practice [drawing] that enhances our skills, stimulates our imagination and pushes how we think about our work..." is what Jane asked for.

And the subject? Your dog (or cat, or next-doors gerbil) or indeed any pet that is happy to sit by your side while you observe, interpret and capture the unique character of that special furrever friend.

Come and celebrate with us, meet the artists, share some shaggy dog stories or tackle the age-old dog vs cat people debate.

Opening Reception from 1pm

Followed by our

Members in good standing can influence the future of Lake Country Art Gallery by using their voting privileges to nominate and vote for the next years leading team of Directors.

Night Market

Indoor Arts Market with the Under 100 Exhibition
including Art Shelf and a special feature Art Tree Auction
so many great original gift ideas in one place

Thursday December 6th
5pm to 9pm in the Gallery & Coffee House

If you're looking for that original, and unique Christmas gift, join us for an amazing gathering of talented artisans showcasing their art and craft.

In addition to the hundreds of original works of art already for sale in the Under 100 Exhibition, the Lake Country Art Gallery is for the first time ever adding an indoor marketplace event to our BIGGEST show of the year. In this Market you will find some of your past favourite artisans from the old Art Shop - plus new vendors too. Check out the preview gallery below, see new beautiful art and gift ideas from Alice Pallet; Ingrid Mueller; Denise Wandt; Angela Hansen; Patricia Doyle; Lowell Friesen; Little Willow Soap Company; Kassys Kreations; Victoria Preb; Ima Naviah Rose and more ..

New artworks are added to the existing Under 100 Gallery Exhibition each week so even if you've browsed the selection of art by 82 artists already, there will be more to see this evening.

Paired with this year's Under 100 Exhibition, we have a NEW feature: All of the Artists were invited to create one tiny piece of original art to hang on the ART TREE. This beautifully decorated tree, complete with lights and traditional ornaments also has over 80 minature works of art hanging on it's branches. THIS WHOLE TREE and everything on it COULD BE YOURS! Plus a secret gift, wrapped under the tree. BID on our AUCTION sheet before December 14th to secure this unique and stylish decoration. The art on the tree would make a fabulous wall display, or you will have GIFTS for all of your family and friends for years to come

The ArtShelf will be open too, with specialist Art books and ideas to inspire treasured and lasting gift ideas.

All in one place - Art, artisan crafts, art books - and FREE WRAPPING TOO!
