Arteast Workshop cancelled - Communiqué - Blackburn Hamlet Library - Members Announcements - Arteast Call for Artists: St. Laurent Complex Gallery - Call for Artists: “Arts By The Lake” art festival - AOE Announcements




1. Arteast Workshop for May 23/24 cancelled


Unfortunately we did not get enough people to register for the workshop (Only 6 of the 14 needed to meet the costs). Regrettably, we have to cancel. I know some were looking  forward  to the fun weekend. I suggest you could contact Shirley  and see if you could join one of her workshops in Westport. www.shirleymancino.com her email is smcgroup@yahoo.com . So sorry, Mary Ann Varley




2. 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 postal.





3. Blackburn Hamlet Library

Blackburn Hamlet Library in conjunction with Arteast is proud to present an exhibition
of encaustic artworks by Marie Leger. This solo show is titled Spirit of the hinterland
and runs from May 30th to July 25th .

Marie Leger works in encaustics, which is basically, melted pigmented beeswax painted on a wood surface then fused using a torch or heat gun. She manipulates the wax through scraping, re-melting, drawing, painting and embedding found objects. This combination of painting and dimensional layering of wax and objects leads to rich textures and a luminous depth. 

Marie Leger finds the unexpected textures and results of working with encaustics, keep the painting process exciting and fresh and reveal an unpredictable beauty to be found in imperfection.

This is a unique opportunity for the public to enjoy, encourage and support artists
in their local community as well as the Blackburn Hamlet Library.

Location: Blackburn Hamlet branch of the Ottawa Public Library, 199 Glenpark, Ottawa K1B 5B8
Hours: Monday to Thursday: 10 - 8:30, Friday: 1:00 - 6:00, Saturday: 10:00- 5:00, Sunday: closed.

Arteast artist Maureen Rooney Mitchell presents an exhibition of paintings
at The Legal Information Centre of Ottawa, Suite 1400, 85 Albert St, Ottawa.

In this exhibit Maureen has included something that represents each of her muses from the whimsy of ‘Too Close’ to the winsomeness of “Cartoon Watching”.  Maureen’s  artwork is not confined to one subject matter, and when she tackles an artwork it usually fits one of several moulds: it  has personal meaning, or,  there is something whimsical that has tickled her funny bone that she wishes to pursue, or, there is a subject that just cries out to be explored, and sometimes, a pretty picture is just a pretty picture !

The exhibition runs from May 1st  to August 31st .
Hours: Monday: 1-5,  Tuesday to Thursday: 9-5 , Friday: 9-12.
