The Uncommon Marketplace

Since Cindy picked up my painting from the Black and White Plus One Colour exhibit at KAGS when the show closed, I agreed to take in her paintings for The Uncommon Marketplace yesterday, that way both of us weren't running down into the bottom end of Peterborough at the same time.

It worked out especially well, as Cindy and I took a trip into Cavan Monaghan Township and Millbrook on Wednesday to find places that we would like to paint for the upcoming 1st Annual Outdoor Painting Festival Cavan/Millbrook which is sponsored in part by Cavan Arts.

The Uncommon Marketplace show is being held at the Canadian Canoe Museum, 910 Monaghan Road, Peterborough, Ontario.

It is featured as "A Celebration of Arts and Crafts".

Throughout the course of this two day event there will be demonstrations of crocheting, drawing, fibre arts, knitting, paddle carving, painting in watercolour, painting on canvas in acrylic or oil, pottery, pyrography (wood burning), weaving, wood turning and much more.

The KAGS display features sixty two paintings from twenty three different artists in a wide variety of media and styles.

Both Cindy and I will be demonstrating upstairs on Sunday afternoon.

Cindy will be working on a couple of large canvases, while I will be painting in watercolour on smaller paintings so I can stop and talk with people about art and KAGS.

The hours for the show are:
17 Sep 16 from 10am-5pm
18 Sep 16 from 12pm-5pm
Admission is Free and there are a number of Free Draw Prizes.

We hope that some of you will be able to come out and enjoy the art show and the canoe exhibits at the Museum.
