surrounded by shapes and colours which are the pulse of any artistic
creation. Every-day sights and situations shape the work of the
artist. Hamid Ayoub depicts the emotions of human spirit through
colour and movement. Different mediums are used to render the entire
spectrum of life experiences. Hamid's work has been exhibited in many

Arteast Members – Attention: Grow
With Art Program Facing Uncertain Future
One
of the key programs that Arteast provides to its members is Grow With
Art. At this point, we need someone to take over as Lead
Coordinator. Our current Lead has run the program for a long time as
well as volunteered in many other areas of our activity. Don't you
agree this person deserves the chance to step down after giving so
much to Arteast and to be able to spend more time pursuing their own
artistic goals.
We
need someone to take over now. Without a Lead Coordinator, Grow With
Art would have to cease. You would then lose these activities,
coordinated by Grow With Art:
-
monthly meetings with presentations by professional artists (provided
free of charge);
-
annual bus trip to Montreal, with its visit to the Montreal Museum of
Fine Art and elsewhere;
-
workshops given by professional artists.
The
task of Lead Coordinator is not a difficult job, nor is it
particularly time consuming. And you will not be expected to do this
job alone. In fact, an incoming new Lead would not only have a team
to assist them but would have the support of an experienced and
dedicated team. In addition, the current Lead would be available to
provide guidance and advice.
What
are you waiting for?
I'm
waiting for you to call....613-830-1829.
