It's time for the QAC annual event which combines art and wine tasting in one location. This year it is at the Banquet Centre in Belleville. It is on tomorrow evening September 17th 2009.
I contributed this small watercolour for the silent auction.
This is a fundraiser for the Quinte Arts Council.

Tickets are $50 which includes a chance at winning a painting, food and wine.

Belleville Art Association's renovated gallery

The Belleville Art Associations gallery at 392 Front Street has been extensively renovated. It looks much more professional and has lost it's former "clubhouse" look, even though the fireplace is still there. We have the latest thing in picture hanging systems thanks to generous donations by some of our members and friends. The lgihting is also much improved and there are new windows and more wallspace.

You are all welcome to attend the "Grand re-opening" which will take place on September 17th at 7-9 p.m. There will be an official ribbon cutting ceremony. It's free!

The show will be titled "Fall splendour".
The downtown fall Art Walk is on today and the gallery will be open until 8p.m

The Tweed Arts Council is holding it's annual "Art in the Park" show at the Memorial Park by the lake in Tweed on Sat and Sun 15th and 16th August. Its going to be hot- supposed to hit 28C.

The picture above is done in Tweed, at the Heritage Centre gardens. These are worth a visit as they are always beautiful thanks to curator, Evan Morton. There is now a spectacular new totem pole,carved by local native and non-native sculptors.

This same weekend is Ribfest at Zwicks Park, Belleville, and the Ramada Inn which is just across the road, is having an art and craft show and sale in the grounds. The Belleville Art Association has a table there.
