UPDATE #7

Hello,
Happy February 1st! It's a storm day here in Sydney, Nova Scotia, so I actually have some time to update the Art Gallery Blog.
This Friday night at 7:00 pm, two exhibitions are opening: The 10th Annual Student, Faculty, Staff & Alumni Art Exhibition and Drawing on Permanent Collection. Yesterday, the former was featured on CTV's Live at Five! Alumnus Lynda Lou MacIntyre, students Shayna George and Julia MacPherson (artists), and myself were interviewed by Marc Hudon. Ian MacNeil from CBC Radio was also out to speak to these participants and myself. This should be a great opening.
Also, our reading room is almost ready to open officially on February 10th. It's looking pretty good, if i say so myself!
Tickets are out for Romancing the Gallery ($35 each) and can be purchased by phoning the Art Gallery or the Boardmore Playhouse Box Office. They can be paid for with VISA/Mastercard, cheque, or cash. You can pick up your tickets in advance (preferred!) or at the door. This is going to be a wonderful event in support of the Art Gallery and the jazz concert promises to be the highlight of the afternoon (February 12, 2:00 to 5:00); award winning musicians Jamie Gatti, Chris Mitchell, Sylvio Pupo, and Tom Roach will perform. Chocolates and wine will be served, and a live art auction, recent acquisitions, and lots of romance await you before the concert begins.
Call the Art Gallery at 902-563-1342 or the Box Office at 902-563-1652 to order or for more information.
I look forward to seeing you at these upcoming events!
Suzanne
