Along with several other Quinte artists, I was involved in a small art show at Tyendinaga Library in Melrose. Some of the proceeds were given to the "art for literacy" program. This gives children access to extra help with reading etc. during the summer vacation.
The quality of the art was excellent. Cynthia Guthrie did a good job of organising the show, and the library staff donated some wonderful home made cookies, but I had a feeling that most of the visitors had come for the tea and goodies rather than the art show! The same kind of people show up at funerals of people they hardly know just for the free sandwiches. Most people showed little interest in the art, although Joyce Empey-Smith managed to sell a painting, and the rest of us sold a few cards.
