Call for artists for fund raiser at Museum

Hello everyone,

 

The Museum is going to host a fun filled evening of food & refreshments on August 7th to raise funds.  The main event for the evening will be a Muskoka Chair Auction.  We did this 2 years ago and it was a rousing success so we thought that we should bump it up a bit more with food & frolicing! 

 

But - we need to call on you good, talented (or at least imaginative) people to decorate the chairs that are to be auctioned.  We have chairs, matching foot stools and tables - your choice. They can be decorated anyway you like as long as they are useable out of doors when done. Please contact us if you are interested in participating.  We can't pay you, but we would be extremely grateful and say really nice things about you in public!

Thanks!!

July's New Workshop! Metal Etching.

This is a really, really cool workshop!  Joan Irvin is the instructor, (she teaches at the Alberta College of Art & Design in Calgary), and she is just a wonderful teacher.  She has been here a few times facilitating workshops in various metal media and professional development for artists.

 

The poster with all the info is attached and I have attached a page of examples of etching on copper & silver to give everyone a better idea of what is achievable.  Note that the class will be working with copper.  Class size is limited to 8 participants.

Cheers,
Laurie

Caricature Artist in Fort Smith June 3rd

Caricature Artist Cathy McMillan of Edmonton is going to be in Fort Smith to teach a journalling/altered art workshop this weekend.  To take full advantage of her talents we have asked her to do a evening (June 3) of caricatures for the public.  If you are interested in having you or your family drawn please call the museum to schedule, there are only a few spot left.  These drawings would be a great idea for a Christmas card!   It is $20 per person.

 

Check Cathy's work out on www.quirkyartcafe.ca . She is pretty amazing!

Thanks,
