The date, time, and details for Debra Ali's water-based oils workshop has been set. Debra's class will run every Wednesday evening (7-9 pm) for eight weeks, May 2 to June 20, 2007.
The teen and afternoon kids class will be taught by Debra Ali and Nick, instead of Keith and Nick, as Keith will be attending his brother's birthday party in Midland.
Entry forms are available at the Visual Arts Brampton Creative Studio, at the Art Gallery of Peel, or online as a PDF.
The Art Gallery of Peel’s Annual Juried Show is one of the most popular shows of its type in the province. In the past, artists have been entitled to submit one or two works for a non-refundable fee of $12 for members; $15 for non-members. This year, submissions will be limited to one piece per artist with the entry fee remaining the same. This will allow the same number of artists to participate but not create the excessive volume of entries that can overwhelm the jurors’ decision making process.
This year, the Gallery is fortunate to have the expertise of artist Dan Kennedy and Director of the Varley Art Gallery, John Ryerson in adjudicating the show. Submissions will be received at the Gallery from April 16 - 22, 2007 and the opening reception and awarding of prizes will take place on May 2 from 8 to 10 p.m.

Brampton 01 Mar 07 - Brampton Library held its 8th Annual Bookmark Contest Awards Ceremony, Tuesday, February 27, at the Four Corners branch.
Nicole Brown won in the preschool to kindergarten category; Anittha Mappansingam took the award in the grades 1 to 3 category; Melissa Vrieling was the winner in the grades 4 to 5 category; Joseph Inot won in the grades 6 to 8 category; Kelly Anderson won in the grades 9-10 category; and Ashley Multani was the winner in the Grades 11-12 category. At the Ceremony, the winners received a prize plus a Certificate of Merit.
Winning designs were selected by a panel of judges from the Brampton Arts community. These designs have been turned into bookmarks that will be made available to the public in limited quantities at all Brampton Library locations during March Break. They are also featured on the Library's website at www.bramptonlibrary.ca
This press release is included for two reasons, most obviously judge Keith Moreau is the President of Visual Arts Brampton. Less obvious is that Kelly Anderson was a VAB youth classes member, back around the turn of the century.
(Note that the bookmarks are judged without the names of the entrants, and thus the quality of Anderson's work was the only deciding factor. Moreau was unaware that she was an entrant.)
