Just us together

This summer, Jantje was part of the National Sculpture Competition at Kingsbrae Garden. Here are some photos of her stone sculpture which is currently on display.

Talking with Cyril Lunney from ATV Morning Live, about her work.

Summer 2012

This summer, we decided to freshen up the buildings by the bay. We began by repainting the floors. Building 1 was painted a nice rusty brown - reminiscent of mud flats. Building 2 was painted a nice, bright turquoise - as was the trim on the outside of the buildings.

We renamed our spaces "Jarea Art Gallery, Folk 'n Fine" to reflect the fact that we now carry a nice selection of folk art and fine art created by artists from across the province. This year and are thrilled to announce that, in addition to the work of Jantje (Blokhuis-Mulder), Geoff (Slater) and I (Andrea Mulder-Slater), we have work from:

Wilma Blokhuis, Larissa Blokhuis, Jackie Guthrie, Gerry Cloud, Cedar Sky, Randy Russell, Jamie-Lynn Doak, Joe Hunt, Beatrice McFadden, Mary Cormier, Lillian O'Connor, Curtis McFadden, Christin Lambert, Leo Narcisse Robichaud, Betty Stuart, Tangled Love Decor (Chavah Haddon and Zach Palmer), and more (oh my!)

Here is a little taste of how our spaces are shaping up this summer:

Water Tank Touch Up 2012

It was 2003 when we, along with a number of high school students, painted the town's water tank...

 

 

 

 

 

Four years went by and the elements took their toll. So, in 2007, Geoff did a mural touch up - to freshen things up a bit...

Now, in 2012, the water tank underwent a complete paint job. The majority of the work was completed by Geoff, with a little help from me (Andrea), Jantje, Gerald Cloud, Jackie Guthrie, Wilma Blokhuis, and the littlest one.

Ta da!
