Harmony Art Show opens next week

Harmony the last show of the year at Tay River Gallery promises the art lover, connoisseur, and collector a " feast for the eyes" with paintings of every size and description displayed from Nov. 20th to Dec. 31 on the theme of harmony.

Yes, our gallery will be brimming with art in every nook and cranny. Featured artists for the Harmony Show will include Anne Barkley, Margaret Chwialkowska, Jean Gauvreau, J.G. Morin, Deborah Saulnier, Fortunee Shugar, John Stevenson, J. Allison Robichaud, Vivien Tytor, Rivka Waas, and Tricia Wilmot Savoie.

As well we have an ongoing exhibition of works by John Alexander Day, Mary Nunn, Bill Veale, France Tremblay, Heather Assaf, Karen Phillips Curran, Shirley Mancino, Martha Markowsky, Normand Baril, Deborah Czernecky, James E. Pay, Antal Serences, Gudrun Schutz, Mary Schofield, Sylvia Summers-Martyn, and Andrew Olscher. Don't ask how I make it all fit as I never know until the last painting is hung whether I actually will manage it and we do have four lovely sized exhibit rooms for paintings. What would I ever do with a"grand gallery space" like those I hold a twinge of envy for - ( Rouge Gallery for one) and other marvelous grand sized galleries ? I have my hands full with TRG thank you very much.

As usual the excitement builds, as well as a teeny bit of apprehension in the days prior to the mounting of the show, and prior to the hours of backbreaking labour to make it all come together. I really have got to get more help, I squeek frantically as the deadline approaches!

The art will make the walls sing regardless of my attempts at orchestration, because there is so much beauty to behold in the upcoming show. The art will speak for itself most eloquently.
Parting words of your humble gallery curator, Lisa Brown, just a few days before the show opening.
