I’m going to be at the Gold Bar “Early Bird Christ­mas Art and Craft Show” on Sat­ur­day, Novem­ber 20^th at the Gold Bar Com­mu­nity Hall (4620 — 105 Ave) from 10 to 4. There is always a great selec­tion of other ven­dors, and I would love to have some famil­iar faces drop by. Hope to see you there!

I will be exhibit­ing prints of my pho­tographs at a weekend-long gallery exhi­bi­tion hosted by Edmonton-Strathcona MLA, NDP Rachel Not­ley. This should be a great show, with approx­i­mately 30 artists show­ing their work. The gallery will be open the week­end of Octo­ber 22 – 24, with an open­ing recep­tion from 6 pm to 10 pm on Fri­day night (10 am to 8 pm Sat­ur­day, and 12 pm to 4 pm Sun­day). The event will be tak­ing place at the Old Strath­cona Cen­tre for the Per­form­ing Arts at 8426 Gate­way Blvd. More info at Rachel Notley’s web­site.

I will be attend­ing the open­ing recep­tion, and will prob­a­bly be there Sat­ur­day morn­ing & after­noon as well. It would be great to see you there!

I’ll be dis­play­ing (and per­haps sell­ing) sev­eral of my pho­tographs at the Kaleido Arts Fes­ti­val the week­end of Sep­tem­ber 9, 10 & 11. There is an open­ing gala on Fri­day night with many of the artists in atten­dance (includ­ing myself). Hope to see you all there!

A quick post to let you know about an event com­ing up next week where one of my pho­tos will be exhib­ited. The Visual Artists of Alberta Asso­ci­a­tion is host­ing a juried art show at the Kaasa Gallery at the Jubilee Audi­to­rium (11455 — 87 ave) from August 12 to Sep­tem­ber 23. The open­ing recep­tion will be in the evening of August 12, from 6:00 to 8:00 pm.

For those of you on Face­book, their is an event page at http://www.facebook.com/#!/event.php?eid=143761485649105.

For those (like myself) who aren’t yet there, here is the VAAA’s descrip­tion of the event:

Visual Arts Alberta is pleased to present the third annual pho­tog­ra­phy com­pe­ti­tion & exhi­bi­tion, Open Photo 2010, exhibit­ing some of Alberta’s finest photographers.

Visual Arts Alberta received an over­whelm­ingly pos­i­tive response to this open call to Alberta pho­tog­ra­phers. Over 300 pho­tographs were sub­mit­ted to our jury for con­sid­er­a­tion. Sixty two pieces were cho­sen, and Visual Arts Alberta is pleased to present to you the jury’s selected work.

Guest Juror Thomas Willock will choose the best over-all pho­tog­ra­pher as well as hon­or­able men­tions in the evening of the open­ing reception.

Awards will be announced at the open­ing recep­tion at the Jubilee Audi­to­rium in Edmonton.

All are wel­come / Artists will be in atten­dance

I, and many of the other artists, will be in atten­dance for the evening and would love to see you all there.

Sorry again for the (very) late notice – my inter­net con­nec­tion at home has been on the fritz for a cou­ple days, but revived itself just in time.

Just a quick note to let you know that I’ll be tak­ing part in an art and craft sale tomor­row (the 9^th of April) at the McQueen Com­mu­nity Hall. A por­tion of the pro­ceeds from all the ven­dors will be donated to sup­port relief and devel­op­ment work in Haiti. The event runs from 2pm to 9pm, although I will likely not be set up until a lit­tle later in the after­noon. McQueen Hall is located at: 10825 McQueen Rd.

I’ll be sell­ing a selec­tion of pho­to­graphic prints and cards and am always happy to take cus­tom orders (pro­ceeds from any cus­tom orders placed dur­ing the sale will also be donated). I would love to see you all there – it should be a great way to sup­port local artists and crafters, while also ben­e­fit­ing a good cause.

After a pretty slow day at the Gold Bar craft sale, I’m hop­ing for the best at this year’s TKUC Guild christ­mas gift sale this com­ing Sat­ur­day, the 28^th of Novem­ber. I’ll have a table set up at The King’s Uni­ver­sity Col­lege (9125 50 street, here’s a map) between 10 AM — 3 PM. There’s a $2 admis­sion (kid’s are free) and over 70 ven­dors. I’ll again have pho­to­graphic prints and cards for sale, and this time I’ll print enough of the pop­u­lar ones!

Just a quick note to let you know that I’ll be at the Gold Bar com­mu­nity art & craft sale from 10 am to 4 pm on Sat­ur­day, the 21^st of Novem­ber (’09) (here’s a map to the hall). I’d love to have you drop by to say hi (six hours can go pretty slow with no one to talk to), and I’ll have a selec­tion of prints and cards for sale as well. Hope to see you there!
