The Legal Information Centre in conjunction with Arteast is proud to present an exhibition of paintings by Rashmi Rekha. This solo show entitled, “The Kaleidoscope of Life” runs from October 28, 2016 – April 28,2017.

This show will present the beauty and magic of thinking of life as a kaleidoscope. Rashmi is passionate about exploring different perspectives on life and modern society and present them in colourful images on my canvas. She takes the images of today’s social and natural landscape and her personal experiences, the good, the bad, and even the ugly and shuffles the pieces together to create a visually appealing image using a wide range of colours, singularly unique and precious because we understand that the slightest shift can quickly change the picture. Each of these paintings will keep the viewer engaged. These paintings are in oil or acrylic mediums.

This is a unique opportunity for the public to enjoy, encourage and support local artists in their community as well as engaging with the Legal Information Centre.

Location : Legal Information Centre, 85 Albert St, 14th floor, Suite 1400.

4. Kerstin Peters at Luna Sole


Kerstin Peters is truly an all around artist, whether working in her studio on animal portraits or out with a plein air group enjoying the beautiful landscape. These plein air adventures have taken her all over Canada.

As a member of several art organizations, she exhibits her work regularly and “hopes to inspire others to find and express their own creativity”. Kerstin sees art as a ”means to relax, have fun, grow and connect with others through the process of creating”. She believes that “everyone can express themselves through art”. Acting on this belief, Kerstin offers courses, workshops and paint parties, working with both adults and children. 
 
Several of Kerstin’s landscapes are now on display at Luna Sole, along with three colourful pieces of her fiber art. The show will be on until December 6th

Urgent: Grow With Art Lead Coordinator Needed

 
 
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.
