ADULT DRAWING WORKSHOP: MONDAY JUNE 29 7:PM $5
Come Monday night for a unique drawing experience! The theme is 'Postcards from Alert Bay' to aim at summer tourists. Find out more information when you attend! Bring photos of Alert Bay if you have any that might inspire you, and otherwise show up ready to create! As this is a drawing workshop, feel free to also bring any favourite pencils or drawing implements.....
CALL FOR ART: DROP OFF AT THE ARTLOFT THIS SUNDAY! JUNE 28 12-3:30
The July theme is "My Alert Bay" so preference will be given to Alert Bay scenes, but we have expanded to begin our Salon Summer show early ~ so feel free to bring in any art, old or new, to showcase this summer season! Must be a member to participate. ($10/yr)
ART JOURNAL CHALLENGE!
The ABAS would like to challenge all artists to take part in our first annual Art Journal Challenge! Pick up an old book from the thrift store (or the gallery has some!) and you are ready to go! You can use a novel and/or an old atlas or other thick paged colourful book. Google search "Art Journal" and you will be taken to pages and pages of samples, examples, online workshops and inspiration! Just do what your heart feels to the pages of the books.... use the novel pages as background to watercolour sketches or pencil drawings, pastel, charcoal... anything goes! Thicker book pages work well as a background for acrylics and mixed media techniques, use gesso or just paint straight onto the pages!
This is a year long challenge. We will have times throughout the year to meet and share where we are at, and hopefully by the end of the year everyone will have a page or two they would like to be part of the Nov/Dec show!
