Studio Friends...

We are very excited to announce that Cedar Sky (Earthforge) and Juhl Sky (Earth Mama Essentials) will be joining us in the studio this summer!

Fresh and new...

Jarea Art Studio has been spruced up, just in time for the 2010 Summer season. We removed the old counter, moved some things around, did a quick painting touch up, built a workbench and added a new display case. We've also added artist Cedar Sky to our roster. We will be open for Victoria Day weekend and sporadically from that point on until the season gets in full swing.

Here are some recent photos of the studio...

See you soon!

Opening soon...

The studio has come together nicely! We are planning on being open this weekend, just in time for Victoria Day in Canada -- Memorial Day happens the week after in the US.

Photos coming soon!

Art in Montreal

Geoff was part of an art exhibiton in Montreal this past weekend.
The Brush Off is a Juried Art Show at Avenue Art on King Street in Old Montreal.
The Jarea gang made the trek to Quebec. It was loads of fun...

The show is on until the end of the month.

Rock 'n' Ride

Geoff has been keeping busy with an ArtsSmarts project at SJDA. The project, in part, involves creating artwork in the form of murals, for a student-planned fundraising festival.

Rock 'n' Ride will raise funds for Dignitas International’s HIV/AIDS clinics and prevention centres in the Zomba District of Malawi.

Performance Art!

This past weekend, Geoff participated in a fundraiser whereby he painted a picture during a 2 hour theatrical performance. The completed painting was then auctioned off to raise funds for a local woman who requires treatments for cancer. The finished work sold for $750.00.

It's Lovely by the Water...

With the weather being so incredibly beautiful, we've been spending some time at the studio looking at the view.

Geoff has almost all the walls painted and soon we can start to organize ourselves and our artwork.
The other day, Jan and I threw rocks in the water with Jannique while Geoff worked away...
