0

The Art Exhibit Has Been Extended Till October 17th

A.J. Brown has a solo art exhibit. Some of the paintings have sayings or quotations within the work. The exhibit also has symbol works. A.J. hopes these uplift and inspire people who view them. Some of the work is watercolour on panel, which is a new medium and a new surface for A.J. She first started with this in November 2009. A.J. hopes the works open people up for more spirituality, and peace. This is fun and lighthearted art.

A.J. created artwork since 1999. In the past, she has used acrylic on canvas, but she decided in 2009 to attempt watercolour on panel.

2010 Sees A Switch From Garbage Cans To Metal Umbrella Stands

Come and cheer A.J. on! Also, Come to cheer on the other Deaf artists!  Come watch me in action and watch me get dirty, with paint, of course!!!

Twenty-five artists will take part in the four hours of creative madness, turning plain metal umbrella stands, provided by the event sponsor, Granville Island Ferries (www.granvilleislandferries.bc.ca), into works of art.

In previous years the artworks have been created out of metal garbage cans, but sensing that they had perhaps saturated the market for these large decorated cans, and wanting to provide something that would be suitable for more of today’s smaller urban homes, organizers this year have chosen to switch to a smaller metal umbrella stand
