Communiqué - Members Announcements - Art Conference - Artists Studios Available

1. Communiqué

Arteast's hard-copy, quarterly newsletter—Communiqué—is popular with our members, but did you know that it is also available on our Web site at http://arteastottawa.com/newsletter.php? A notification when a new issue is released is communicated via the weekly Arteast Digest. Posting of the Web version may be viewed in full dazzling colour, at least two weeks before the print version (black and white) is delivered by Canada Post. With rising postal costs, some members have requested that they be removed from the mailing list for the printed copy. Other advantages of going with the online Communiqué are:

- reduces printing and envelope costs;

- makes Arteast more "green";

- no more hunting for misplaced issues (Arteast's Web site has the current and all back issues).

Printed copies will be available at our monthly Grow With Art meetings and the Promenade Arteast gallery at the Shenkman Arts Centre. If you prefer to read the newsletter online, please e-mail us at editor@arteastottawa.com to have your name removed from the newsletter mailing list.

La copie imprimée du trimestriel d’Arteast – Communiqué – est populaire auprès de ses membres, mais saviez-vous qu’il est aussi disponible sur le site Web http://arteastottawa.com/newsletter.php ? Lors de sa publication, une notice paraît dans l’hebdomadaire Arteast Digest. Sur le Web il peut être lu et vu en couleurs deux semaines avant la version imprimée ( noir et blanc) postée par Poste Canada. Compte tenu du coût postal croissant plusieurs membres ont enlevé leur nom pour l’envoi postal - vers le Web. Il y a d’ailleurs d’autres avantages du Communiqué en ligne tels que :

- réduire les coûts de l’imprimé et de l’enveloppe;

- Arteast plus ‘vert’;

- ne plus être à la recherche du numéro manquant (le Web d’Arteast conserve le numéro courant et les anciens numéros).

Des copies imprimées seront disponibles à la réunion mensuelle L’Art en herbe et à la galerie Promenade Arteast au Centre Shenkman. Si vous préférez lire le Communiqué en ligne, s.v.p. contactez : editor@arteastottawa.com afin d’enlever votre nom de la liste d’envoi.

3. Members Announcements

Arteast members Janis Fulton and Kerstin Peters together with their friend Hélène Martin are showing a wonderful variety of their landscape paintings, mostly painted on site in the greater Ottawa area in their exhibition "Three Friends, Three Times the Passion" at Tyros Shawarma Lebanese Restaurant, 5929 Jeanne d'Arc Boulevard South, Orléans, ON K1C 6V8.

What started out as a group of painting buddies, has evolved into a true friendship. The three friends have painted together for about 10 years. They enjoy painting outside while breathing in the fresh air, listening to the sounds of nature, and spending time with like-minded artists. They are inspired to capture the Canadian landscape and climate in its diversity. While they certainly influence each other, they all have developed their own style.

The exhibition runs until March 4, 2016.

Meet the Artists: January 31, 2016 from 4-6 pm.

6. Ottawa School of Art Course

Academic Oil Painting; Grisaille

'Grisaille' is a fundamental step between drawing and painting in traditional academic painting. During this course students creat an achromatic (black & white) oil painting using a plaster cast. Simplifying the subject allows students to focus on the rendering of values along with the methods and materials involved in building a 'fat over lean' oil painting. The course is open to all levels of ability. The same instructions will be given to all students but the instructor will recommend extra challenges to the more advanced students on a one-on-one basis. Traditional oil or water soluble oil is acceptable.

These new pieces will be hung for two months.
The next change-over will be on Tuesday, March 8, 2016

If you are interested in exhibiting, an advance email, on or before Wednesday, January 6, 2016, 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.

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 12, 2016.
