Art store closeout sale

Jon Williams art store/studio in Calgary is closing (he is retiring). Real special prices to clear out. 403-255-0166. Across from Chinook mall area.

Wednesday, April 4, 2012

Local Frames available.


 This just in from Victoria Page:

Kimberley Rae Sanderson (behind video store) has standard size frames available at a very good price. She imports them from the US. From a glance they looked very acceptable to me.
With glass...
 
Two sizes are immediately available and the rest she can order. If you buy 5 or more the price is even better. It takes about a week  to ten days to bring in the others.
8x10
11x14 ($30)
11x17
12x12
16x20 ($50)
18x24
There are many colour choices on the ones that she can order but I believe that she has brown and black in those two sizes now.

Viv Crebo

Cathy called to say that the family is holding a Viv Crebo remembrance for family and close friends on April 14th , in Calgary.
It will be at the Willow Park Golf and Country Club, April 14th , 3-5 pm.

Cathy has posted this information in the Pioneer.

I hope that we can toast her memory during our show perhaps.Joan knows a lot of the story. It goes back to Treva Burton times!!

Exciting News!

Hi all,

I got a call from the Book Bar yesterday asking for some input. The Book Bar is expanding into the former Beach Bound location and is opening - drum roll - a full art supply section! This will be so great. The Book Bar is looking for feedback from local painters as to what brands they prefer and what other supplies (canvases, brushes, mediums, etc.) they would like to see. I agreed to gather some info and put it together for them. So please, add a comment and list your favorite brands and stuff. I will be compiling and forwarding on when I return from Van on Friday. So excited!

Gwen has asked me to publish this post:

On March 27th.. 12:30 Paula Cravens will be conducting an acrylic workshop.
This will be at WINDERMERE COMMUNITY HALL.The Tuesday painters who wish to be in Windermere all day are welcome to go there from 9:00 on.
Treats will be provided but sharing is always good.
This is a wonderful opportunity to learn from an accomplished member of our group!!!

Again those Tuesday painters, who wish to, may start out there in the morning will be welcome to do so. The rest of us will be in our usual spot at the Seniors' Hall INVERMERE.

CV Arts Fees

Hi,

Tony asked about the CVArts membership and I promised to check in with Jami about that. All painters who are showing in the 2012 PMP show at the Pynelogs need to buy an individual CV Arts membership. You can drop by Pynelogs during its business hours to do this.

If you would rather mail your cheque in, I have several forms and have dropped a few off with some of the Tuesday painters. I will bring them to painting again on Tuesday.


Cheers,
Laila
