Special Exhibition for Canada's 150/Exposition spéciale pour le 150e du Canada - Survey for Arteast Members May 2017/Sondage auprès des membres Arteast, Mai 2017 - Des Fleurs Pour le Plaisir at Blackburn Hamlet Library - Open Studio Time - Call for Art - Members’ Announcements - AOE Announcements - Sponsors’ Announcements


1. Special Exhibition for Canada's 150 - Exposition spéciale pour le 150e du Canada

Arteast joins in Canada 150 celebrations
Arteast is proud to present a special exhibition in celebration of Canada’s 150th birthday. Using the Ottawa 150 logo design of a series of triangles arranged in the shape of the iconic maple leaf, thirty artists created paintings that represent Canada’s diversity in an explosion of colour and images. Artists used different mediums, such as acrylic, oil, watercolour, mixed media, encaustic, and photography to realize an amazing artwork. This giant maple leaf mosaic, 8 ft. by 8 ft., will be the dramatic focal point of the Canada Naturally/le Canada tout Naturellement exhibition. This special exhibition is part of the Ottawa-wide, multi-venue series of shows celebrating Canada's sesquicentennial through landscape that will be taking place in the month of July. This venue features thirteen landscapes by Arteast members which capture aspects of the diversity and range of our natural wonders.
The opening reception for Canada Naturally/le Canada tout Naturellement will take place on Sunday, May 28, from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. on the ground floor of the Shenkman Arts Centre, 245 Centrum Boulevard, Orleans. The public is invited and admission is free.

Arteast se joint aux célébrations du 1503e anniversaire du Canada
Arteast est fière de présenter une exposition toute spéciale pour célébrer le 150ème Anniversaire du Canada. En s’inspirant du logo Ottawa 150, plusieurs pièces de bois triangulaires ont été placées pour former l’iconique feuille d’érable. Trente artistes ont participé individuellement à représenter la grande diversité du Canada dans une explosion de couleurs et d’images. Les artistes ont utilisé différents médiums tels que l’acrylique, l’huile, l’aquarelle, les techniques mixtes, l’encaustique et la photographie pour réaliser cette grandiose œuvre. Cette mosaïque en feuille d’érable sera le point central de l’exposition Canada Naturally/ le Canada tout Naturellement. Elle sera accompagnée par treize autres paysages inspirés par les membres d’Arteast.
Cette exposition fait partie d’une série d’expositions qui auront lieu au cours du mois de juillet dans la grande ville d’Ottawa pour célébrer le sesquicentenaire du Canada à travers des paysages canadiens réalisés par des artistes locaux.
Le public est invité au vernissage de l’exposition Canada Naturally/ le Canada tout Naturellement présenté par les membres d’Arteast. La réception aura lieu le dimanche 28 mai 2017, de 13h à 15h au niveau 1 du Centre des Arts Shenkman, 245 Boulevard Centrum, à Orléans.
