Hi all - just thought it was time to update you on some upcoming events and happenings that you might be interested in. I try not to send out many e-mail blasts but if you do not want to recieve them at all -- please e-mail me from my website with unsubscribe in the subject line and I will remove your name from my distribution list --- thanks.

First

The Gogos Art Auction - Raising money for Grandmothers in Africa will be held on Friday March 7th at the Quay in New Westminster. The artwork has been on tour over the last year in Western Canada. It is a really worthy cause which you can read about on their website. Art bidding can also be done online and on the phone. Check out the website for photo's of the lovely paintings and quilts. I posted a photo of the painting I donated on my blog last May.

Third - Ferry Building Juror's Choice Show

I had two paintings accepted into this show at the Ferry Building in West Vancouver which will run from March 11th to 30th. The opening reception will be held March 11th from 6 pm to 8 pm. I will send out a reminder closer to the date and hope that some of you that live in the lower mainland will be able to attend. I think there will likely be 10 or more artists in this show.

Forth -- Aion Art Gallery

I have some paintings now consigned at the Aion Art Gallery. This gallery rents art out to the film industry. I was approached by the gallery owners as they thought some of my art would be suitable especially for scenes shot in cafe's around the city. I have no idea if this will be a success but thought it could be fun if my art ends up on some tv shows or even a movie. I will be sure to let you all know when and if that happens!

Thats all for now.
