A message from MAG Artist Katharine Fletcher:
Dear friends, family, colleagues and supporters:
I'd love to welcome you to the new Wakefield art gallery -- Galerie d'art Riverside -- this coming weekend, June 22 & 23. Owner Shawn de Neire is representing my work -- he has 17 pieces of my art on display.
And what's special?
This weekend, I'm doing a solo "show" here, where I'll be on the porch (or inside if it's rainy), creating some new works. I'm eager to chat with you about my art, which has three main themes: Enchantment, Spirit Horses, and Endangered.
I look forward to seeing you during these times:
Saturday June 22 from 11:00 - 5:00
Sunday June 23 from 11:00 - 3:00
Address: Galerie d'art Riverside, 735 Chemin Riverside, Wakefield, QC J0X 3G0.
Owner Shawn de Neire is a supporter of international artists as well as being tremendously supportive also of regional creators. He's just recently been busy designing a lovely space in the back garden in which to display art.
Come and check out Galerie d'art Riverside this weekend! I'll look forward to seeing you.

MAG Conversations is happening this Thursday. Enjoy an evening out taking in "The Sublime in Art".
Just a reminder of this Thursdays MAG conversation at our new location the Legion.
Robert Sauve has been a docent at the National Gallery of Canada for twelve years and will be speaking on "the Sublime in Art".
The sublime has long been understood to mean a quality of greatness or grandeur that inspires awe and wonder; a quality of beauty that leaves the viewer speechless. But can the sublime also be a source of terror?
In this conversation Robert will be discussing some of the works in the NGC's collection and discuss if it is possible to articulate the experience of the sublime.
Robert has very generously offered to guide a small group to view theses paintings at the NAG at a later date.
Doors open at seven so enjoy a glass of wine and be transported to the world of the sublime!
Cheers, Elena
this sounds like an amazing talk - sad I have a conflict and can't make it!
What time Elena?
