 ,

We have had a great March so far and hope you have too! With all the blooms coming up and spring officially here, we wanted to send you all a quick update about what's happening around here and what to expect in the coming months as we prep for more shows, retreats, classes and opportunities to be creative! 

Be sure to stop in and have a look at the ever evolving selection of Canadian artisan works too! We are always changing our selection so you never know what's in store or what treasures you might find. We can guarantee that you will find the most unique works in store and that all of your experiences in a painting class, painting party or at our shows will be truly unique and memorable! If you haven't yet, be sure to visit our Facebook Page and stay up to date by following us on our Instagram account too! 

Have a great rest of the week! Stop in and see us! 

Sincerely,

Mid March Updates! 
Grand Opening Success! 

Thank you to all of our friends, family, clients and fans who came by to support our grand opening on March 9! It was a wonderful turn out and we had a fabulous time! If you were here, you'll remember that even without power for a few hours, we had a bustling energy that was candlelit! It was amazing to see all of you who came by! Thank you for your support and helping us raise just over $400 so far for our friend with cancer! Way to go! 



A huge thank you to all the vendors, artists, volunteers, sponsors and businesses who helped make our event this year in Edmonton amazing! Thank you to our sponsors and supporters! We are so excited about the results of this year's show that we have already booked our event for 2019! A special thank you to our sponsors and supporters!!

SPRING BREAK ART CAMPS! 

Our kids camp is themed "International: Countries Around the World" 

Activities will include cultural traditions of artistry from around the world. Some of the ideas that we have for this interactive week with workshop leaders from the community representing their culture include: 

-Traditional Polish/Ukrainian Easter Egg Decorating  
-Shodo (Calligraphy) Calligraphy is one of the most admired Japanese arts.

We would also have time for life drawing and painting but are hoping to bring a cultural element to this year's camps by working with members of various cultural backgrounds to share new art forms with the participants this year.
