The monthly Yorkville Art Walk is an ideal opportunity to view and consider a wide range of quality originals from exceptional artists. This month's walk will take guests through a broad span of styles and media with something for everyone. A visiting artist will be present for the current tour, R. Gary Miller (Ingram Gallery). Also, curator Sasha Abrams of Hollander York will give a short talk on the upcoming exhibition titled "Transcendental Journey: From Hollander to Beauchemin".
Please note that there will be no ad in the Globe & Mail on Saturday, July 28/07 regarding the August Art Walk. However, the Art Walk is still scheduled.

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.
