1. Arteast Juried Award Exhibition
Members and the public are invited to an opening reception for its latest show, the 35th Arteast Juried Award Exhibition. The reception will take place on Thursday, September 22 from 7:00 to 9:00 pm at the St. Laurent Complex.
Arteast is pleased to present the work of its general membership. These members form the core of Arteast and due to their numbers enable us to present work in our many venues including the St Laurent Complex,.
The works on view encompass many different media and vary, just like the members themselves, from the amateur to the professional. The recipients of the awards in each category have been selected by an independent jury. The show is sponsored by Select Fine Art Materials, 2208 St Joseph Blvd., Orleans.
Maryse Hatchard is our current featured artist at Luna Sole, offering a last burst of summer colour with her larger than life floral watercolours. Although her education and work history is in the field of Medical Research, Maryse has always been drawn to the visual arts. She has taken courses in watercolour for many years and is now in a position to pass on some of this wonderful knowledge. She offers classes in her studio space as well as classes during the lunch hour in elementary schools.
In recent years Maryse has been looking into the art health connection, “bringing health and wellness through creative processes”. This she says, “will be a wonderful new chapter” for her. The show will be on at Luna Sole until October 25th.
St Laurent Library in conjunction with Arteast is proud to present an exhibition of fibre art by Ottawa artist Diane Bertrand. This solo show is titled "Textures-Materials" and runs from September 30, 2016 to January 6, 2017.
Introduced to fibre works by her mother, Diane experimented from an early age with using various techniques and materials to create visual art. The seven artworks in this exhibit have in common the fact that they represent elements of nature and are all made with natural materials.
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, 515 Côté Street, Ottawa K1K 0Z8
Hours: Monday to Thursday: 10:00 - 8:30 Friday: 1:00 - 6:00 Saturday: 10:00 - 5:00 Sunday: closed
