Celebrate Canada Day with Incredible Canadian Art Exhibit in Rosseau

To launch our summer festival Destination Rosseau on July 1, we are proud to present “Brave Art #1, ambiance or commodity”. The title came to me after hearing, on several occasions,  individuals, who visit the gallery then make a decision about a piece based on whether their decorator would approve. My response is always the same. “Be brave. Think for yourself.”

Our first exhibit features new works, landscapes by two artists with very different styles, Barb TenEycke and Stefan Galvanek. Barb’s work is a perfect example of realism, at times reminiscent of W.O. Mitchell’s  “Who Has Seen the Wind?”. They are calming to the soul achieved through the use of muted colours. Stefan on the other hand is the complete opposite. He is abstract/impressionism. Often he chooses dormant subjects like Northern Ontario swamps then brings them to life with a swarm of vibrant colours…totally against the grain.  Placed in the same gallery these artists create an effect that is outstanding and not to be missed. 

The exhibit opens July 1 with a reception 4:00 – 6:00 PM and runs daily 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM until July 20. 

Next up “Brave Art .2” new works by Grace Short (July 22- Aug 10)  an “Brave Art .2” new works by Carolyn Megill (Aug 12-31)

Starting July 1 – Destination Rosseau – a festival of theatre, art, music and film

 

 

 

 

 

What do Billy Bishop, Ditchburn wooden boats, Native Canadian poet Pauline Johnson and the creators of the Shopsy hotdog have in common? The answer is the  Village of Rosseau, at the top of Lake Rosseau. 

This summer from July 1 thru Sept 20, the Rosseau Culture and Arts Project is hosting “Destination Rosseau”. As executive director I am thrilled to be leading a team of great people helping to launch this incredible festival of integrated arts featuring live summer theatre (including a world premiere), incredible art, hilarious comedy by Canada’s funniest, children’s hands on science camps and all-day parties, a  film festival featuring flicks selected from over 1300 international entries and a jazz weekend to end the season.
