While COVID has restricted our ability to have lovely openings and showing en plein air in Coastal BC in the winter is not at all possible...but...then comes the innovation of Zoom.
This Friday December 11th at 7 pm PST will be our first foray into the Zoom Virtual Opening and our first attendees are from across North America! We're looking forward to seeing them and we can all be without masks. I do believe I might have a glass of bubbly in hand to mark the occasion. We have new pieces arriving every day, so there will be something new each time to see. Perhaps Friday nights will become Preview Evenings! :) We look forward to this trial run - fingers crossed technology cooperates and remember, we can Zoom you in anytime - just set up an appointment by email. Cheers, Pauline Olesen Piers Island Gallery #virtual #artopening #zoomart #yyj #originalart #piersisland

It's been a long cold winter, but I'm sweeping out the PIGSTY and will be ready to reopen PIG for the season on April 13th - from 2 to 4 pm. In celebration of spring, come share some pink bubbles and enjoy the work of your fellow Piers Island Artists. Hope to see you there!
In our fast paced, instant gratification world...the art of oils is disappearing. The time, the detail, the layers of pigment on canvas are richly displayed in the works of Evey Gabille & Mary Jordan. We invite you to enjoy their art. Mary has many originals available for purchase with a sampling of giclees on canvas for her popular pieces. Evey has given us many beautiful pieces to show you, but she's not parting with most of them, however, giclees may be ordered.
Opening night is Friday June 29th from 7-9 pm The exhibition will continue to July 15th - the gallery will be open weekends 2-4 pm and available by appointment. PIG is excited to include Craig Benson as one of it's artists this spring. Craig's carvings in stone are nothing short of incredible. He occasionally has bronzes made of some of his suitable pieces. The seal head shown here is a one of a kind. The bronzes are cast locally and Craig does the fine after finishing and patina work on them. This seal has a most unusual patina finish, with no others like it. For those of us out on the water, having one of these creatures pop up and watch you, always brings a smile. :)
PIG will be open this Saturday from 2-4 pm. Pop in for a smile. |
