While we're looking ahead, please note that from April 16th through May 3rd next year, CAAG will present a new kind of exhibition — “The Art of the Postcard”.
All pieces are to have an outer dimension of either 4 X 6 inches or 5 X 7 inches. The back of each piece can be finished in the manner of a postcard.
Each piece will be fitted into a clear plastic sleeve and hung clothesline style so gallery visitors can view the back.
Members are encouraged to create some cards in these formats and, when travelling, mail them to CAAG at Box 8023, Canmore, AB, T1W 2T8.
Alternatively, on the regular dropoff night, simply bring your created postcards for hanging and sale in the show.
On Saturday, September 18th from noon to 3pm in the gallery, the Library and CAAG will collaborate to host a drop-in workshop for all ages.
Help rescue some of the leftover books from the book sale. Learn how to alter them into a work of art, keepsake or personal journal. All materials will be supplied but feel free to bring any personal embellishments you would like.
