New shows open at Wellington gallery
The Wellington Artists’ Gallery and Art Centre announced its new show and the addition of a new guest artist this month.
“The Beauty of Positive Power” opens June 29 and runs until July 26. The exhibit is a collection of original landscapes and abstract paintings by emerging artist Elle How, whose work has appeared in galleries across southern Ontario. Some of her current pieces are in travelling exhibitions across Canada and Australia.
The Wellington Artist’s Gallery is proud to welcome Nola McConnan, a professional visual artist, who is a teacher of art and an illustrator.
McConnan’s recent book ABC Muskoka is in its sixth printing. Many will recognize her commissioned artwork for Royal Winter Fair posters.
Her works are shown along side those of Kreighoff, Tom Forestall and George MacLean plus a number of First Nations artists.
McConnan’s work is keenly sought and is in private collections in Canada and the United States. Selected pieces of her art will be on exhibit here from June 29 to July 26.
An opening reception for both exhibitions will take place on July 7 from 1 to 4pm.
The Wellington Artists’ Gallery is located at 6142 Wellington Rd 29, For more information visit www.wellingtonartistsgallery.ca.
