Many of our members participate in exhibitions outside the OGPC, both in the Ottawa-Gatineau region and beyond. We like to highlight some of these exciting shows.
Plusieurs membres participent à des expositions autres que celles de notre Collectif, que ce soit dans la région d’Ottawa-Gatineau ou ailleurs. Nous aimons souligner certaines de ces expositions passionnantes.
The Ontario Mini Print Exhibition (TOMPE) opens in London, Ontario on July 29th, 2020 and runs until August 15th. At least four OGPC members have had work accepted by the jury (Madeleine Rousseau, Roger Sutcliffe, Laurence Finet and Susan Cartwright).
Update: Susan Cartwright was awarded an Honourable Mention for her linocut reduction print “Peanut II”!
Organizers have installed the show at Satellite Project Space gallery and will also be presenting it virtually online. The gallery is open Wednesday-Friday 2pm-7pm and Saturday 12pm-5pm. You are invited to visit the show in person or online. If you live out of town, the organizers request that you contact them to book a time to visit the gallery. This way you can visit at your desired time as only four people are allowed in the gallery at once. Masks are required in the gallery and there will be hand sanitizer available at the front door.
You are also invited to join the virtual opening reception for TOMPE2020 on Wednesday, August 5th at 7:00pm. Details on how to join the live event will be sent out closer to. Please spread the word!
Six OGPC members (Louise Guay, Tina Petrovicz, Valerie Bridgeman, Dale Shutt, Laurence Finet, and Susan Cartwright) are participating in a printmaking project led by artPontiac. The project will see 7 printmakers create 14 large (36 x 24″) woodcut prints, using a steamroller on the main street of Shawville, Québec on Saturday, August 22nd. Our videographer will create a visual and audio record which tells the story behind the project and each of the woodcuts. Please come and join us!
The theme of all the woodcuts is InterconneXion, something which every artist hopes to achieve with their viewers. It celebrates the connection among printmakers, who often create individually, but also together with collaborative works and exchanges. Each participating artist was free to choose what kind of interconnection they wished to portray and this has resulted in a wonderful array of images. Check the InterconneXion Facebook page and artPontiac’s website for WIP shots of the blocks.
So come out and join us in Shawville and celebrate connections (something we perhaps cherish a bit more after the past few months!) and see the body of work we produce. Rain date is Sunday, August 23rd.
