2. Product Knowledge Workshop
Arteast members are invited to a Product knowledge workshop “ Raphaël and Sennelier Artist paint brushes”, hosted by the DeSerres team and Representative of Raphaël and Sennelier
Date: Saturday, March 31st 2018
Time: 3pm to 5 pm
Where: DeSerres at St. Laurent Shopping Center
Registration required, limited sitting: via email josiedemeo@bell.net or telephone 613-590-7627
Here’s a little history I could find about these products. Hope to see some of you there.,
Raphaël
Founded in Paris in 1793 and owned and operated by the Sauer family since 1859, Raphaël is the oldest fine art brush maker in Europe. Following the time honored tradition of master and apprentice, the highly skilled craftswomen of Raphaël must train for years before they are ready to produce a Raphaël brush. The finest hairs and bristles are imported from all over the world and hand sorted to ensure the highest quality. Every brush made by Raphaël is made with the artist in mind.
Sennelier
Gustave Sennelier opened the doors of the Maison Sennelier at 3 Quai Voltaire in 1887. This Parisian landmark faces the Louvre on the Left Bank, just around the corner from the École des Beaux Arts. Artists like Cézanne, Gauguin, Monet, Bonnard, Soutine, Picasso, Modigliani, Kandinsky, and Dali made this place a historic rendez-vous. Sennelier has been a resource for artists since the era of the Impressionists, and that tradition continues today for all customers of the Maison Sennelier.

Call to Artists
Elgin Street Renewal – Public Art
Request for Qualifications (RFQ): Artist in Residence
Deadline: Monday April 23, 2018, 4:00 p.m. EST
Budget: $150,000 CND plus HST
Information: Melissa Black, Public Art Officer
melissa.black@ottawa.ca , 613-244-4261
The City of Ottawa’s Public Art Program invites artists to submit qualifications for an Artist in Residence opportunity to design, fabricate and install a permanent artwork for Elgin Street as outlined in the Call to Artists. This three-stage competition is held in accordance with the Public Art Policy.
City Council approved the Functional Design for Elgin Street (Gloucester Street to Queen Elizabeth Driveway) and Waverley Street (Elgin Street to Jack Purcell Lane). The watermains and deep sewers under these streets are among the oldest in the city, dating back to the late 1800s. The need to replace this aging infrastructure created a unique opportunity to assess the road surfaces and redesign them to meet the City of Ottawa’s Traditional Mainstreet designation in the Official Plan, Complete Streets policy and Accessibility Design Standards.
