NEWS RELEASE
GUELPH ARTS COUNCIL
*************************
Guelph Arts Council’s Fall 2021 programming includes three exhibitions at 10C Shared Space, and the Guelph Emerging Artist Mentorship Project’s culminating exhibition at the Boarding House Gallery.
Exhibitions at 10C Shared Space
The following exhibitions of work by Guelph-Wellington artists, presented by Guelph Arts Council in the street-level community gallery at 10C Shared Space, 42 Carden St. can be viewed on Mondays and Tuesdays (9 a.m. – 3 p.m.) or by appointment by emailing [email protected] or calling 519-836-3280.
Ordinary People by Judith Elsasser is on view until Nov. 20. Judith is an accomplished Guelph figurative and portrait artist. These portraits in oil – familiar faces perhaps – are local examples of people who, in their daily work, have stayed the course throughout the pandemic.
Judith says of her work: “I endeavour to capture their stories on canvas. I have a passion to explore the beauty of the human figure and its revelation of the human soul.” Join Judith at an opening reception on Saturday, Nov. 6 from 2 - 5 p.m. at 10C Shared Space, 42 Carden St. (Attendees must show proof of vaccination upon arrival.)
Amber Ozols will show a series of paintings in oil from Nov. 22 - Dec. 10. Amber’s plant imagery explores the experience of moving forward with grief and the psychology of resiliency and growth. Join Amber at an opening reception on Thursday, Nov. 25 from 7 – 9 p.m. at 10C Shared Space, 42 Carden St. For more information about Amber, visit amberozolsart.com or instagram.com/amberozolsart.
Joan Hug-Valeriote’s exhibition of quilted textile art Scapes, Scopes and Abstracts runs Dec. 11 - 31. Joan is an award-winning professional quilt-artist who started quilting with traditional bedquilts and moved on to quilted landscapes, seascapes, and cityscapes. Abstract pieces followed, and in 2021 she started looking more closely at microscopic images to interpret in textiles. Join Joan at an opening reception on Sunday, Dec. 12 from 2 - 4 p.m.
Coming Soon - Guelph Emerging Artist Mentorship Project Exhibition
The Guelph Emerging Artist Mentorship Project supports artists, musicians, and cultural managers in the critical transition to professional life, thanks to the support of the RBC Emerging Artists Project. GAC delivers this program in partnership with the University of Guelph’s School of Fine Art and Music. The emerging artists involved in the current project round will present a culminating multi-arts exhibition project at the Boarding House Gallery, 6 Dublin St. S., Guelph in early December. Details will be announced.
