The Visual Arts in Belleville
Welcome to my first blog post!
I am an artist who works in watercolour, acrylics and hand-felted exotic fibres. I am also a member of both the Belleville Art Association and the Quinte Arts Council
What is the difference between these two organisations?
The Quinte Arts Council is an umbrella organisation for the whole Quinte Region including all the arts. This means theatre, poetry, dance, music as well as visual arts. It publishes a monthly magazine called the Umbrella. These two groups are often confused, but they are separate entities.
The Belleville Art Association is only concerned with the visual arts and has its own member gallery at 392 Front Street, Belleville. It exists to help both newer and esperienced artists increase their skills and sell their work. Visit the website for more information.
Members have their own on-line galleries, and believe me, there are some great paintings!
Actually this area of Eastern Ontario has more artists per square mile than almost anywhere in Canada. Because of the amount of competition, this makes art prices very reasonable.
The Belleville Art Association also has paintings by members hanging in the Ramada Inn in Belleville. This in effect, increases our gallery hanging space.
