PAST EVENT, MAY 28 2009

DISPLAY
YOUR MEMORIES

PAST EVENT, NOVEMBER 08 2008

Our seminar (hosted by Frameworks Bayridge's Corries and Chantel) featured a discussion on Design as it applies to framing 3-dimensional objects, using your keepsakes to tell a story and a spirited Q&A session.

PAST EVENT, SEPTEMBER 25 2008

The first Art After Dark art gallery Tour on Thursday evening (Sept 25th) went picture perfect, with chocolate biscuits and fruits on hand, and an equally delectable slate-tile stoop underfoot (it went in earlier in the week)- not to mention the exposition of our guest artist Christoph Fischer's photographs of topical fall and winter vistas. Come on down and drink the latter in, as they'll be hanging on our gallery's walls only until the end of the month (October 30th)!
