So many things happening this month. Oh the EXCITEMENT!! I’m finally having my first solo exhibition! Next week should be quite interesting. Over a year ago I booked our local Art’s Council. I actually booked last week, but they called me and said they had to move me one week ahead, did I mind. Actually, I did mind as there was another event that I like to attend every year, Explore the Shore. Moving the date would mean missing that weekend. There were no other openings, so I had to take it or loose out on the gallery all together. Little did I know what would happen.
Every year the neighborhood of Walkerville has an Art Festival. I happen to live in this great historic neighborhood. This is a pretty exciting weekend. They close down the streets. Rock bands play, patio’s fill up and there is a great deal of excitement. You never know what weekend they will choose. Well, what made this so exciting is that my show just happens to be running during on the weekend of this great event! I did not plan this, but mind you, I had hoped. This means that the traffic in the gallery will be quite high. So, think of me next week, and come visit me at the Artspeak Gallery. My show runs from July 20th until July 25th.

So what else is happening?
As you may or may not know, I run the Windsor & Essex County Plein Air Artists group. We have a group show in the lovely town of Amherstburg at the historic Gibson Gallery. The show has 12 fantastic artists participating in it. The work is simply phenomenal. Our opening was a great success with a full house. We have been asked to hold the show over to August 2nd, and we are planning a closing reception on that Sunday afternoon. So if you missed the first reception, you have the opportunity to attend the 2nd. Join us from 2 until 5 at the Gibson Gallery in Amherstburg, On.
