1. Exhibit Change at the Orleans Library

It’s time to change the exhibit at the Ottawa Public Library: Orleans Branch at 1705 Orleans Boulevard, Orleans, Ontario.
On Tuesday, March 1st, 2016, please retrieve the works that have been hanging for the past two months and/or bring in new paintings (or other two dimensional art) to the Orleans Library. These new pieces will hang until Tuesday May 3rd, 2016.
The changeover at the Orleans Library is between 10:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m.
Please come prepared to record information about your paintings: Title, Medium, Size, and Price along with your name, phone number and e-mail. You can bring up to 5 paintings although, depending on the total received, not all may be accepted. Paintings must be properly framed and ready for hanging.
For those bringing a painting for the first time this year, you will be asked to sign or update an Arteast contract. Blank contracts will be available at the Library.
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. Neither the Library nor Arteast takes responsibility for the security of works exhibited but reasonable care is taken to ensure their security. 
Fifteen percent of any sale is payable to Arteast for its operational budget.
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 and the Blackburn Hamlet Library branches where Arteast members exhibit on a continuing basis
We look forward to seeing exhibitors on Tuesday March 1st at 10:30.a.m.
Orleans Library Coordinator Sheila Forsyth and Corinne Feasey

5. 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.

2. Lissa Rachelle at Luna Sole

February 16 To March 29: What Dreams May Come

In 2012, Lissa Rachelle began painting with acrylics as a break from detail-oriented and time consuming pencil work which had been her original artistic expression. Working with paint put her in a “playful” state of mind that led to a style deliberately carefree and, to a certain extent, spontaneous and intuitive.

The paintings at Luna Sole represent her own spiritual explorations and beliefs that have led to a surrealistic, colourful and slightly whimsical world where a gentle sense of mystery prevails. She says “it is a place where the skies are filled with light even in the deepest night and the trees express their emotions with the growth of their curly branches and roots, and there is always the feeling that one might be on a wonder-filled adventure of discovery.

Luna Sole is open daily in the mall at Jeanne d’Arc Boulevard and Youville Drive in Orléans. Be welcome to breakfast, lunch or dinner or just a coffee.
