New Site is up!

Well it is finally done! I think that everyone will enjoy the new site both for its speed and ease in finding things. Ben, our new web designer, has created a really wonderful user friendly site that I think eveyone will enjoy. Now you can see the new youtube videos that we have been doing with BlackDog media. So far three of them are ready to be seen. So feel free to go to the media section and check out the videos on Walter Dexter RCA, Goyer-Bonneau RCA and Carol Rossman. Naturally there will be possible little glitches to iron out but I feel that Ben at Spur of the Moment Media has done a fantastic job.

Yesterday Brian and I filmed a new mini-video that will be up shortly. Actually I think everyone will see this as a site to return to regularly. we will also be using the blog part to inform people of new work arriving in the gallery. for our out-of-town clients this means they won't have to scour the site trying to figure out if we have anything new in.

At the moment it is late saturday afternoon and it is almost time to go home. So to all of you I bid adieu for now and will write more next week.

The exhibition opens to the public on Friday November 20th with a special reception at BOTH galleries on the Thursday evening. Aaju Peter,  noted Nunavut culturalist, will provide the welcoming ceremony at The Innuit Gallery at 7:30 Thursday November 19th.

JONATHON LINKS UP WITH THE INNUIT GALLERY!

November 19th is the opening of this years Jamie Jardine exhibition. This is going to be an incredible show. Jamie went to Nunavut in July and spent ten days in Iqaluit and this show is a result of his travels. Jamie was blown away with the scenery and the people.  An exciting aspect of this exhibition is  our partnership with THE INNUIT  GALLERY for this event. THE INNUIT GALLERY, now in their 27th year, has arranged for a wonderful collection of carvings to be part of this show titled "Form and Vision. Opening night will be our first JOINT VENTURE EXHIBITION. The opening will be at both our gallery and theirs. Fortunately their gallery is only around the corner.

Make sure you connect with us if you want an invitation to Opening Night.  Also watch for the premier issue of BEAT London's latest art magazine featuring Jamie Jardine's arctic experience.

BARBIE COMING TO JONATHONS!!!!!

Believe it or not we are having a Barbie Birthday Bash! Hard to believe? I must admit that as I look at the 100's of Barbies that have been descending on the gallery it a little surreal. I keep telling myselfd that it is all for a good cause and it is! Investing in Children operates a nutrition programme within the school system. This is an important program that helps to ensure that kids eat. This event is to raise money to help them do just that.
