Art Gallery of Peel Juried Show form available

The form for the 36th Annual Art Gallery of Peel Juried Art Show is now online.

Entry fee is $12 for members of the Peel Heritage Complex, $15 for non-members; you can submit from March 23 to 29, 2009. Artists can submit one work, to make sure jurors are not overwhelmed. Artist Lyn Carter and Burlington Arts Centre's Director of Programs George Wale are adjudicating the show.

Interestingly, our group's president, Keith Moreau, is pictured on the back of the pamphlet. He's at the opening with his wife, who's turned the other way.

One of the 6-to-8-year-old classes full

The 9:30 to 11:00 am class for 6-to-8-year-olds, taught by Emily Kowalik and Paulina Su, is full for 2009. Unless someone is to move part way through the year, or stop attending for another reason, no new students will be admitted.

The 11:30 am to 1:00 pm time does have a few spots available, however. If you'd like to sign up, contact the studio, ASAP.

Around the Web: January 2009

A few quick links to interesting sites around the web:

• Vancouver Animation is a new site, described by its publishers as an "Online Gazette", with weekly interviews, features, a directory, and forums.
• We presume most people have heard of it by now, but we've been subscribing to Canadian Brushstroke Magazine for over a year now; with a free online subscription, you get a link to a PDF magazine every two months.
• If you're looking for reference photos that you can legally work from for your art, try Flickr's Creative Commons search. Just type in your search term, then check off all three boxes in the Creative Commons section. This will narrow the search results to only the pictures that professional and hobbyist photographers have released as "CC-BY". You do have to give credit to the photographer, as the creator of the original work, but otherwise you're good to go.
