Current Highlights

Once again, the upcoming Yorkville Artwalk is an ideal opportunity to view and consider a wide range of quality originals from some highly talented artists. This month's walk will take guests through a broad span of styles and media with something for everyone. As is customary, a work by an artist who will be present for the tour is highlighted here. This new work is by Shaun Downey, who was present at Ingram Gallery on Thursday Sep. 7/06  for the opening of his show appropriately titled "September 7th", running to September 26th. The next walk is set for  Thursday Oct. 5/06. (See below).

Background Overview

A highly informative monthly tour takes place in the Yorkville Art Gallery district, giving newcomers and regular attendees a focused overview of the Yorkville art scene. This informal, free tour begins by gathering at the Rotunda (lower level) in the Hazelton Lanes Mall, opposite Browns’ Shoe Store. The attendees split into three smaller groups which visit selected area galleries during the evening. Each small group is led by a volunteer tour guide who is familiar with art appreciation and the local art scene.  Some of the galleries may have featured artists present for the tour. A wide range of Contemporary or Historical Canadian and International works of art are available for viewing. At the end of the evening attendees may join the group for coffee at a local area café. The Artsgroup hopes you will consider this for your calendar.
