An exhibition of paintings by artist Mary Harman

Vernissage Oct 9   5-7pm   Exhibition continues to Nov 14

The subject matter of these paintings are the surrounding landscape as well as the modest dwellings in the area -  tiny houses that survive in the face of a changing world. The paintings are a tribute to this place I call home, to my neighbors, to the spirits of the past that dwell in Vale Perkins.      

Hidden in the heart of Sutton, in the Eastern Townships, The Sutton Sculpture Garden offers visitors the chance to enjoy both abstract and figurative sculpture in an  intimate garden setting. This year's special exhibition entitled '4' showcases four sculptors all of whom have chosen to make their homes in Sutton: David James (ELAN member), Eddie zHeath, Marek Latzmann and France Chevrette.
Open Thursday to Sunday from 2pm to 5pm or by appointment 450 538-3227

Vernissage: Fri. September 19 at 7 pm
Michael Sproule has returned again and again to western Canada because in the western plains, foothills and mountains, he has found land formations whose complex geology intrigues and inspires him. In his dramatic and colourful paintings, there is evidence of cataclysmic upheavals, of erosion and of deposition. From his paintings of the surging glacial outwash areas of the western plains and Badlands to the tranquil ebb and flow of foothills country, Michael Sproule’s interest in the geological phenomena behind the changing landscape provides the underlying structure for his work.

Open doors from 6 p.m. until 10 p.m.at Off-interarts, 5145 Saint Laurent, come see the model inspired photographic and painted works of artists Andras Csaszar, Nico Stinghe, Anthony Turano, Aimee Davison, Nazanin Afshar, Eric Belec and Jon Claytor.  Free wine and hors d'oeuvres; ongoing silent auction with reasonable prices.  Special projection at 8 p.m.
