These new pieces will be hung for two months.
The next change-over will be on Tuesday, March 8, 2016
If
you are interested in exhibiting, an
advance email,
on
or before Wednesday,
January 6, 2016, to Christine Gendron, christinegendron@sympatico.ca,
indicating
the number of works and their sizes, would be helpful. Or, just show
up at the date, but risk being turned away.
Please
be prepared to record your paintings with: Title, Medium, Size,
and Price along with your name, phone number and e-mail.
You can bring up to 3 paintings although, depending on the
total number received, not all may be accepted. North
Gloucester Library can accommodate 20 paintings. Paintings must be
ready for hanging, with appropriate framing and hardware to Arteast
standards. Those who are bringing in a painting for the first time
this year must sign an Arteast contract form. Blank contracts
will be available at the library.
Fifteen
percent (15%) of any sale is payable to Arteast for its operational
budget.
When someone shows an interest in purchasing a piece, they will be advised to contact you directly to make the transaction. We prefer to leave all works hanging for the duration of each exhibition. If you must remove your work prior to the next change-over, please notify the appropriate coordinator, so the Librarian can be advised and take note of the authorized removal. Neither the Library nor Arteast takes responsibility for the security of works exhibited but reasonable care is taken to ensure their security. Remember that these are very public areas that put your work and name before the public. Do your part to encourage people to visit the North Gloucester, Orleans, St. Laurent Complex, and Blackburn Hamlet Libraries, where Arteast members exhibit on a continuing basis.
We look forward to seeing exhibitors on Tuesday, January 12, 2016.

Diane Freeman Exhibition of Watercolours at St-Laurent Library
St-Laurent
Library in conjunction with Arteast is proud to present an exhibition
of watercolours by Diane
Freeman.
This solo show is titled ‘Travel Memories’ and runs from January
8, 2016 to April 1, 2016.
Diane
has always enjoyed creating art in various mediums but pursued
watercolours because of it’s challenging complexities. Her
paintings are unlike typical watercolours as she paints with vivid
color, detail and realism. The subject of her paintings are derived
from family travels and adventures.
This
is a unique opportunity for the public to enjoy, encourage and
support artists in their local community as well as the St-Laurent
Library.
Location:
St-Laurent branch of the Ottawa Public Library, 505 Côté Street,
Ottawa K1K 0Z8
Hours:
Monday to Thursday: 10 - 8:30, Friday: 1:00 - 6:00, Saturday: 10:00-

Communiqué
Arteast's
hard-copy, quarterly newsletter—Communiqué—is popular with our
members, but did you know that it is also available on our Web site
at http://arteastottawa.com/newsletter.php? A notification when a new
issue is released is communicated via the weekly Arteast Digest.
Posting of the Web version may be viewed in full dazzling colour, at
least two weeks before the print version (black and white) is
delivered by Canada Post. With rising postal costs, some members
have requested that they be removed from the mailing list for the
printed copy. Other advantages of going with the online Communiqué
are:
-
reduces printing and envelope costs;
-
makes Arteast more "green";
-
no more hunting for misplaced issues (Arteast's Web site has the
current and all back issues).
Printed
copies will be available at our monthly Grow With Art meetings and
the Promenade Arteast gallery at the Shenkman Arts Centre. If you
prefer to read the newsletter online, please e-mail us at
editor@arteastottawa.com to have your name removed from the
newsletter mailing list.
La
copie imprimée du trimestriel d’Arteast – Communiqué – est
populaire auprès de ses membres, mais saviez-vous qu’il est aussi
disponible sur le site Web http://arteastottawa.com/newsletter.php
? Lors de sa publication, une notice paraît dans l’hebdomadaire
Arteast Digest. Sur le Web il peut être lu et vu en couleurs deux
semaines avant la version imprimée ( noir et blanc) postée par
Poste Canada. Compte tenu du coût postal croissant plusieurs membres
ont enlevé leur nom pour l’envoi postal - vers le Web. Il y a
d’ailleurs d’autres avantages du Communiqué en ligne tels que :
-
réduire les coûts de l’imprimé et de l’enveloppe;
-
Arteast plus ‘vert’;
-
ne plus être à la recherche du numéro manquant (le Web d’Arteast
conserve le numéro courant et les anciens numéros).
Des
copies imprimées seront disponibles à la réunion mensuelle L’Art
en herbe et à la galerie Promenade Arteast au Centre Shenkman. Si
vous préférez lire le Communiqué en ligne, s.v.p. contactez :
editor@arteastottawa.com
afin d’enlever votre nom de la liste d’envoi.
