March Show At Tay Gallery Kanata: City Slick

City Slick at Tay Gallery Kanata features paintings from three artists with a passion for city : vibrant urban vignettes from Martha Markowsky, abstract mixed media cityscapes with textile from Karen Goetzinger, and painterly figures in bright palette from newcomer, Claudia Urbach.


Still more winter blasts and dropping temperatures.... come in from the chill and tour the city show... some of our favourite cities portrayed through the artist's eye.

Cities with sophistication - slick & polished - reaching skyscrapers, busy streets gleaming with street lights reflected on slick pavement, charming back streets with children at play, crowds mulling, pedestrians strolling, pulsing traffic - all those things we may love and hate about city... and more. Over 20 cityscapes on display. Drop in and see the show!

Tay Gallery Kanata is a cosy, ambient and friendly gallery space at 471 Hazeldean Rd., corner of Castlefrank Rd. The gallery is open Monday through Saturday from 10 - 5 :30 p.m. Quality conservation art framing is offered on site.

Anywhere from 20 to 40 paintings are on exhibit at any one time depending on the show. Exhibitions change monthly and a significant amount of additional artwork is always available to view and purchase, although paintings may not be currently on exhibition. View digital display of other paintings available.

We offer an interest free layaway plan to purchase artwork and provide 48 hour home trial period if needed.
