1. Opportunity for Member Get Together

Scotiabank Theatre Gloucester (formerly Silver City Gloucester) is presenting an ‘Exhibition on Screen’ entitled Cézanne - Portraits of a Life. This exhibition is taking place on Thursday, March 8, 2018 at 7:00pm, and we encourage you to join members who have attended previous ‘Exhibition on Screen’ presentations for an evening out and post movie socializing.

Tickets are available online at https://www.cineplex.com/Events/InTheGallery and general admission is $14.95.

Details on the exhibit:
From the National Portrait Gallery London, Musée D’Orsay Paris & National Gallery of Art Washington DC
EXHIBITION ON SCREEN is thrilled to present one of the most talked-about exhibitions of the year. Dedicated to the portrait work of Paul Cézanne, the exhibition opens in Paris before traveling to London and Washington. One can’t appreciate 20th century art without understanding the significance and genius of Paul Cézanne. Featuring interviews with curators and experts from the National Portrait Gallery London, MoMA New York, National Gallery of Art Washington, and Musée d’Orsay Paris, and correspondence from the artist himself, the film takes audiences beyond the exhibition to the places Cézanne lived and worked and sheds light on an artist who is perhaps the
least-known of all the impressionists – until now.

Cézanne – Portraits d’une vie (Anglais avec s.-t.fr.) - Exhibition on Screen
Réalisateur : Phil Grabsky

EXHIBITION ON SCREEN est fière de présenter une des expositions dont on parle le plus cette année. Consacrée aux portraits de Paul Cézanne, l’exposition ouvrira ses portes à Paris avant de passer à Londres et à Washington. Il est impossible d’apprécier une œuvre d’art du 20e siècle sans comprendre l’importance des contributions et l’ingéniosité de Paul Cézanne. Comportant des entrevues avec des curateurs et des experts de la National Portrait Gallery de Londres, le Museum of Modern Art de New York, la National Gallery of Art de Washington et le Musée d’Orsay de Paris de même que de la correspondance de l’artiste lui-même, le film transporte les spectateurs au-delà de l’exposition jusqu’aux lieux de résidences et de travail de Cézanne et met en lumière un artiste qui
était peut-être le moins connu parmi tous les impressionnistes, ou du moins jusqu’à maintenant.

GOLDEN Watermedia Demo with Andrea Warren

This free lecture explores all of GOLDEN’s paint lines that are fluid in motion: High Flow acrylics, Fluid acrylics, and QoR Watercolor. Learn unique ways of using the Fluid acrylics, and the ink-like High Flows including staining, pouring, calligraphy, pen and ink drawing, and using them in empty paint markers and needle-nosed Fineline Applicators. Explore traditional watercolor techniques with QoR, and extend that into more contemporary applications: pouring, staining, “white-out” tricks (for saving that uncooperative watercolor painting), washes, layering, and using watercolors for monoprinting. We will cover QoR and GOLDEN acrylics in unique combinations, working with the resoluability of watercolor and the permanency of acrylic. Learn how to take advantage of QoR and GOLDEN grounds to create a myriad of surface options: paperlike surfaces from a Hot Press, Rough and Cold Press watercolor surface to a range of color, tooth and grit. Receive information on working on unique substrates, such as wood panel, fabrics, and more. Finally, learn options for protecting your watercolor surfaces without putting them behind glass, using GOLDEN archival varnishes.

Come with your questions, and leave with a product literature folder and free samples!

4. Opportunity for Visual Artists
