Summer Splash

Summer Splash, our summer - long fine art extravaganza at Tay River Gallery opened on July 4th with "summer fresh" works from 28 regional artists. A wide selection of original art in terms of style, subject matter and media is displayed all summer guaranteed to provide some splash to your summer whether you come to simply browse and visit or decide you must own one of one of these high quality original Canadian artworks.

Plan to set aside some time this summer to see this show with its abundance of summer seascapes/landscapes, florals, figurative and abstract works painted by our regional artists. If not at Tay River Gallery, then perhaps visit a gallery located near you. These talented Canadian artists are most certainly deserving of our recognition, respect and support. Art enriches the soul as we are witness in a brief glance and connection with the essence of another human soul through the medium of the artist's creation.

We encourage and welcome parents to bring your children out to the exhibit as well. We firmly believe that the early appreciation of art and creativity in all the arts are important to quality of life. Fine art exhibitions are generally free events and provide enjoyment to young and old without barriers. We take our children to movies, arcades, museums, zoos and amusement parks. Why not art galleries? Let's make a point of passing on this reverance and appreciation to our young people so that our cultural life remains rich for many generations to come.
