The Grand Coteau Heritage and Cultural Centre had a successful weekend with their Art Show and Sale, getting a nice boost from the Boomtown Christmas event.
“We had around 60 people come in and buy some of the pieces we have available – we did sell some beautiful pieces over the weekend,” explained Exhibition Co-ordinator, Tammy Willman.
The weekend also had a meet and greet with six different artists present.
With the Show and Sale running till Dec. 22, Willman would like to remind the public that time is running out to come in and purchase these locally produced works of art.
“Pieces are starting to sell, so if there’s any piece that somebody has in mind as a gift they might want to pop in and get it soon,” she said.
There was also a new addition to the show and sale, with the pottery work of Stephen Girard now on display along with the work of 30 other Southwest artists.
The other artists in the show include Jeanie Andronyk, Chris Attrell, Kelly Attrell, Emily Bamforth, Kelby Coburn, Renee Cote, Carsten Davies, Julia Dixon, Tekeyla Friday, Stephen Girard, Lavonne Galey, Dianne Greenlay, Emily Elizabeth Hogan, Madonna Hamel, Laura Hamilton, Craig Hilts, Norma Hunter, Trea Jensen, Sharon Johnson, Hide Kagatani, Sheridan Kruse-Dahl, Mel Larson, Lesley Schatz, Jeremy Schrag, and Brenda Spagrud.
The Show and Sale will be in the gallery till Dec. 22 and is open Tuesday to Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
“All of these items are one-of-a-kind, they’re all unique items,“ said Willman. ”You don’t have to travel far to find something special and unique, or go to a big box store. And you get to support local artists at the same time. It’s a win-win for everyone.”
The GCHCC also has music CD’s for sale featuring local musicians such as Philip Lewans, Wanda Gronhovd and the Hunter Brothers
