Our 20th annual
Exhibition & Sale was held at the Pierrefonds Cultural
Center on the 4th, 5th, and 6th of November 2011. As usual,
it was a busy place, with many visitors looking for that
special item to fit into their home or give as a gift.

Please click
on our book to see just a few of the beautiful pieces
that were at the 2011 Exhibition & Sale. |
Large
Christmas trees were full of beautiful hand-painted decorations,
all one of a kind. There were also many wall paintings and
so much more! |
Members
submitted as many as 1500 items ranging in size from small
pins and refrigerator magnets to tables, wall mantles,
canvases and blanket boxes.
Other themes
included Nature, Country, Children, decorative items that
have a Victorian feel, and those that might work well
in a room with antiques.
We paint
on wood, tin, fabric, leather, glass, canvas and paper,
so you were bound to find just the right article for you.

There was also
a display of some of the many Treasure Boxes our members
paint for children to put their 'treasures' in during their
stay at the Montreal Shriners Hospital. There were even
more Treasure Boxes ready to send thanks to the many volunteer
painters at the Salon des Arts Décoratifs that was
held in October. (Please click here
for more information about our ongoing Treasure Boxes project.)
|
All participating
artists worked at least nine hours during the three-day
event, giving the public the opportunity to meet with us.
