Thirty-three artists displayed 120 artworks with 17 sales over the two days of this year’s BIG Show. Also, 13 students from Community Living shared their paintings, with two sales.
There was time for viewing, conversation . . . and wine.
Viewing and choosing a short list of preferred works . . .
And voting for favourites despite the crowds. About 300 people attended over the two day event.
They also took time to recoup, share opinions, cheese!
The People’s Choice winner (by a landslide!) was Olga Harhaj’s oil portrait, President Volodymyr Zelensky.
A pleasantly surprised Olga is on the right.
Our next show is The Collectif’s 3rd Juried Show at Glengarry Nor’Wester & Loyalist Museum in Williamstown , 23May to 7 June2025. Wine & cheese vernissage, Friday evening, 23 May, 18:30 – 20:30
