In 1999, 2003 and 2004, Visual Arts Brampton had successful mail art shows; in 2001, the Art Gallery of Peel ran one as well. By 2005, VAB decided it was time to create a permanent, year-round space for postcard-sized art: the World Art Gallery was born.
But since the international mail art community has been gradually fizzling, from its previous heights, VAB is switching gears. While we still intend to have mail art shows on occasion, the Zellers corridor at Shoppers World Brampton will now host a second, as-of-yet-unnamed extension of Artway Gallery.
This new space will focus on one-person and small group shows, as well as one-off theme shows. If you're an artist wanting to have a solo or small group show, or participate in the theme shows, send in a few samples of your work. We'll be in contact with you, and hopefully have you on display.
