Life Drawing Exhibition Opportunity at Oceanside Arts Council Gallery in Parksville, March 2012

Mehdi Naimi and the Oceanside Arts Council would like to invite the artists in the Lifers Group or any other regional life drawing groups to take part in a nude/figure art show at the Oceanside Community Arts Council art gallery (http://www.oceansideartscouncil.com/) in March of 2012.

'The show will run for the whole month and we can have a reception on the first Friday evening in March. So the show will be semi-informal in the sense that not all works have to be framed. But they should be ready to be hung. We can tack or stick works-on-paper to the wall. We will have to limit the number of works depending on the numbers and the works can be for sale. (The gallery takes a commission of 30%) . Anything else you need to know? Ask me.'

A Horse-Drawn Vehicle for Visual Expression

Please find attached information and map regarding an interesting drawing opportunity on MONDAY DEC 12th that could become an ongoing event if there is continued interest. Apparently there are the required number of artists committed to showing up and paying the modest donation to the Therapeutic Riding Association. If there are others out there interested in getting on board contact Pauline Battle at:
Thank you for your patience. I was waiting to hear from everyone before booking the date.
I have yet to hear from one last person, but as time is flying by we will book the MONDAY Dec12th at the barn 4:30 - 6:30

Show up at the barn, come inside and gather at the long table. We will collect the $10.00 fee and have a sign in sheet. Dress warmly, Laureli will put the heat on for us and we can sit close by the heat source or we can place our chairs around the subject in the indoor ring. No supplies are included so bring what you require. We will have a horse stand for the first part of the session and can also l put him on the lunge so he will be in motion. You may bring a camera and take photos if you require.

THE BARN IS AT 4839 HEADQUARTER RD. IN COURTENAY, behind and over from the Curling Rink (across from Vanier). Your drawing fee will be a donation to the Comox Valley Therapeutic Riding Society. If this session works we can book another session or make it a weekly or monthly event.

Thanks for your support.
Pauline Battle
