Nuit Blanche Ottawa 2012! This Saturday!

Ottawa is having its first Nuit Blanche this year! I will be popping up a gallery in front of the Ottawa School of Art with Lemonjellow Productions.

Inspired by the creative artistry and imagination of pop-up books, we are presenting a “pop-up gallery.”  Pre-constructed from recycled materials, this temporary gallery is mobile in the sense that we can “pop it up” anywhere in the city.  Our aim is to provide a space where anyone can contribute to this gallery on the spot.  The idea is to foster a communal spirit of sharing, interaction, and support from the ground up.  In essence anyone who wants to be, will become an artist participating in Nuit Blanche!

When: September 22, 6:22 pm - 4:22am

Where are we located?  35 George Street, in front of the Ottawa School of Art in the Byward Market

Year of the Dragon - international print exhibit and exchange

I have been working away on my contribution to Toronto's Proof Studio Gallery's annual International Year of the Dragon Print Exhibit and Exchange.  The first print is kept and used for the exhibition. The other prints are offered for sale or used for the exchange.

Here are some pictures. As usual, it seems I've gone with the cute and simple theme.  Linocut and watercolour on Masa paper, hand pressed with my trusty metal spoon! haha. I believe this will make it my 5th year participating. 

PROOF Studio Gallery is located in Toronto’s historic Distillery District: Studio 104, Case Goods Warehouse, Bldg. 74, 55 Mill Street.
Exhibition runs from January 26 – February 12, 2012
Their opening is on Saturday, January 28th from 2 – 5pm works are for sale

Locally, The Ottawa-Gatineau Printmakers Connective will also organize a display showcasing our print contribitions at the Ottawa School of Art:
