Tay River Tattler Newsletter now online!

The Fall issue of the Tay River Tattler is now posted on our site. Read the article about our current featured artist John Alexander Day in the latest Tattler with photos from the reception held earlier this month. The Tattler is the Gallery newsletter with information about the featured shows and upcoming events. More pictures of John Day's new paintings are posted on our Featured Artists Page for John Alexander Day as well as on the online store.

The fall is a wonderful time to take a day trip to Perth and stop in to see the art show at the gallery and also see the sights in the area.

One new addition to Perth's growing list of attractions in the past year is the new Myriad Cinema in the Old Perth Shoe Factory Building at 1 Sherbrooke St. Every last Sunday of the month from 2 to 4 p.m, a selection of short independent films from the Spiritual Cinema Series are featured, sponsored and run by Lanark Hills Foundation. The only charge is a $2 donation, plus the cost of hot buttered popcorn or drinks you may want to indulge in.
They have been described as "Two hours of inspiring entertainment, that will warm your heart and stir your soul - in hard-to-find movies you are unlikely to see anywhere else".

Last Sunday was my first opportunity to go to the movies and my husband Dave and I enjoyed watching them together and were both thoroughly impressed. What a wonderful selection of short films! The films from the Spiritual Cinema Series are short films from around the world by independent film makers and deliver a wonderful story with tasteful production that is thoroughly entertaining , engaging and heartwarming... all in a matter of 10 to 20 or so minutes. The entire program lasts two hours with 4 to 5 short films included.
Check out the Movies Page on the Myriad Centre for the Arts Website for the next series of movies which will run on November 25th or call Jim Deacove at 613-267-4819 for more information.
