Material Differences Wrap-Up

Friday June 21st

Well here it is the longest day of the year and it is wonderful to see the sun shining and feel the heat as I honestly thought that summer was never going to arrive! It is the perfect time for a break and I am heading off to Bayfield for the weekend as the guest of two clients from the United States who happen to have a Canadian retreat. Can't wait to hit the road! Brian is however determined that I spend a few minutes letting people know what is going on.

Material differences our current exhibition featuring Laurie Rolland of BC, Audrey Killoran of Quebec and Zsuzsa Monostory of Ontario has been a great success. The opening was attended by all three artists and the attending guests thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to meet the artists. One guest had flown in from Orlando, Florida to meet an artist that she has been collecting for years and she welcomed the opportunity to finally meet the artist. There were guests from all over, many from the States but Orlando was the outer reach.

The gallery was honoured by a visit from the Brazilian ambassador a couple of weeks ago and she thoroughly enjoyed herself. She also made a purchase of an artist from Quebec. A media release on her visit also triggered interest from a travel writer who will be in London in July and is now planning to stop by as well.

It would appear that our new website is proving popular. Brian has spent a lot of time photographing and uploading images of work currently in the gallery. This week alone pieces have been selected by 'away clients' and are heading off to Alberta and Newfoundland.

I would like to hang around and write a bit more but Stephen just called and my chariot awaits and i am away to the country for the weekend! Have a great weekend and catch you next week!
