2.  Arteast Workshop with Hamid Ayoub


Loose and Free - Unleash the Power of Your Creativity with Palette Knives

Art has always been used as a method of expressing beauty and unseen emotions. Art has also been used - in its various appearances from sculpture, creative writing to painting - to restore hope, maintain creativity and channel feelings that can be difficult to express.

In this workshop, Hamid will guide the participants through the journey of discovering the therapeutic aspect of art making. The journey will start with fundamental concepts of visual art, through the unleashing power of creativity. Participants will explore the magic of palette knife painting techniques, using acrylic, oil or watercolour. A list of supplies will be provided to all registrants.

Hamid is known for his use of bright colours to enhance and communicate joy and movement in his paintings. He is a graduate in Fine Arts and has exhibited his work internationally. For more info on Hamid see: https://www.hamidayoub.net/

Please retrieve the works that have been hanging for the past two months and/or bring in new paintings (or other two dimensional art) for the North Gloucester Library, 2036 Ogilvie Road, Ottawa, K1J 7N8.

The coordinators will be at the Library between 10:30 a.m. and 11:30.a.m. For those who are dropping off art work, please arrive between 10:30 a.m. 11:00 a.m. so that your work can be documented and hung before 11:30 a.m.. For those who are picking up only, please arrive no later than 11:15 a.m

These new pieces will hang for two months.

The next change-over will be on Tuesday, MARCH 12, 2019.

If you are interested in exhibiting, an advance email, on or before Wednesday, January 9, 2019 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 15, 2019.

4. Workshops

By special request from the members, Grow with Art has been able to organized a one day workshop with our September speaker, John Archer. Presented in English.

Title: Expressive Landscape Painting Workshop for Arteast
When: Saturday November 17, 10:00 to 16:00
Where: St Columba Anglican Church, John Stewart Hall,
     24 Sandridge Rd, Ottawa, ON K1K 0A8


Workshop Leader: John Archer

This workshop will be of interest to accomplished painters who want to “shake up” their painting process, and to newer painters who are looking to develop a “looser” painting style. Although the focus is on landscape painting, the process can be generalized to other subject matter. The workshop leader will focus on the use of acrylic paints; however, watercolour or water soluble oil paint can also be used by participants.

The workshop will have two parts. The workshop leader will begin the first part in the morning with an explanation of the process he uses, with example works. This will be followed by a demonstration. Participants will then undertake a series of quick paintings using a reference photograph provided by the workshop leader. The goal is to “deconstruct” that image focusing separately on issues of composition, form, colour, line, value, etc. It is a process of discovering what the image could be as an expressive painting.

At lunch, there will be a discussion of participants’ morning exploratory work.

The objective of the second part of the workshop, after lunch, is to integrate what was undertaken in the morning with the creation of a more “finished” painting. The workshop leader will undertake a short demonstration of that process. Participants are encouraged to paint quickly and bring their work to a good state of completion in the limited time available.

During the final hour of the workshop participants can (if they wish) show their work (perhaps still in progress) for discussion.

Participants will bring their own painting supplies and easel (if they use one). Participants will be provided with sheets of Yupo for the first part of the workshop. A larger sheet of Yupo will also be available to participants for the second part. However, if you prefer to work on a different support medium for a possibly finished work, you may bring that with you.

We will need 8 participants to run this workshop. Arteast Members are subsidized by 50% of the cost of the workshop.

Registration closing date is Friday November 9, 5:00pm

To register send an email to Mary Ann Varley varleymaryann1@bell.net Send your cheque to Treasurer, Arteast, Box 5, Suite 260 , Shenkman Arts Centre 245 Centrum Blvd, Orléans, ON K1E 0A1

Title: Raising Stanley / Life With Tulia
Speaker: Karen Bailey

Have you ever seen a well-behaved guide dog for the blind walking easily with their handler along crowded streets? Did you wonder, “How was this dog raised?” “What’s life like working with a guide dog?”

Raising Stanley / Life With Tulia, is a collaborative performance and exhibition that describes the journey from puppy to working guide dog for the blind. Karen Bailey painted Stanley, a guide dog puppy she and her husband raised for Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind, engaged in a multitude of activities that mirror his future working life. Karen will recount the process of creating her paintings of Stanley and her unusual collaboration with Kim Kilpatrick, a blind storyteller, who performs stories of life with Tulia, a working guide dog. Their accessible production combines storytelling, painting and video and will be presented in the Studio Theatre and Fritzi Gallery of the Great Canadian theatre Company in the summer of 2018.

Karen Bailey’s diverse career spans three decades. Many of her acrylic paintings feature behind-the-scenes workers and the under-recognized including waitresses, hairstylists, church tea ladies and service dogs. She traveled to Afghanistan in 2007 as an appointed military artist to document Canadian military medical personnel at the Role 3 Hospital in Kandahar. Her official portrait of the Right Honourable Michaëlle Jean, 27th Governor General of Canada, was unveiled at Rideau Hall in 2012. Fogo Island, Newfoundland is the inspiration for her current work-in-progress.

On Tuesday, JANUARY 9, 2018

Please retrieve the works that have been hanging for the past two months and/or bring in new paintings (or other two dimensional art) for the North Gloucester Library, 2036 Ogilvie Road, Ottawa, K1J 7N8.

The coordinators will be at the Library between 10:30 a.m. and 11:30.a.m. For those who are dropping off art work, please arrive between 10:30 a.m. 11:00 a.m. so that your work can be documented and hung before 11:30 a.m.. For those who are picking up only, please arrive no later than 11:15 a.m.

These new pieces will hang for two months.
The next change-over will be on Tuesday, MARCH 13, 2018.

If you are interested in exhibiting, an advance email, on or before Wednesday, JANUARY 3, 2018 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 9, 2018.

St-Laurent Library, in conjunction with Arteast, is proud to present an exhibition of paintings by Perth artist Judy Hollinger. This solo show is titled Back and Forth and runs from September 29 to January 5, 2018.

In her art practice, Judy is drawn to the exploration of opposites - light versus dark, warm versus cool, complementary versus similar colours, defined lines versus lost edges. She works between order and chaos, abstraction and realism. Her current collection, Back and Forth, reflects this. Close ups of flowers and plants allow her to use realism in the foreground with elements of abstraction in the background. Judy works primarily in acrylics.

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.
