September 22 Opening Reception

Workshop

SERIOUS FUN  at  GAS

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 30^th FROM 10.30 AM to 3.30 PM
A 5 HOUR MONOPRINT WORKSHOP

With

NOREEN MALLORY

Toronto artist Noreen Mallory accidentally discovered MONOPRINTING 25 years ago while learning lithography. She soon realized that, while THE MONOPRINT was definitely fascinating in its process on a press and what it produced, the experience surprisingly enriched her practice of drawing and painting.

MONOPRINTING IS EMPOWERING

Eager to share empowerment she developed ways of MONOPRINTING WITHOUT A PRESS during the many years of teaching drawing and painting at the Saidye Bronfman Center School of Fine Art in Montreal and in her own studio. Anyone can MONOPRINT on their own when they know how.

We have all loved working with the process, what it produces and what we have learned from it. All art making will benefit from the MONOPRINT experience.

It is truly  “SERIOUS FUN”

Upcoming Show

 REFLECT

   PHOTOGRAPHS BY DAVID HUNTER

    Reception   Saturday September 22, 2 - 6pm

   refuge, quietude and spaciousness both internal and external.

We're pleased to be open again to the public.  The floors in the south gallery are complete and, while we won't claim them as art, they are lovely to behold.
