Looking for a short session? Consider Bruce St. Clair's Shiny and Clear one-day workshop (Aug. 8, 9:30 - 4): How do you paint light reflecting off a metal surface, or flowers in a clear glass vase? Or maybe stones under water. This workshop is designed to demystify these common artistic challenges, as we tackle each of these visual phenomena.
Online workshops! Check out the workshops we're offering online this summer. At the cottage? No problem! Connect from your dock or deck for some online learning.
Juried Exhibition: Don't forget to drop by the Window Art Gallery to see this year's show!
