Tuesday October 30th 11:30am (tour of SCA exhibit) noon - 1:30pm Lunch & Learn: ""What is Art? The Value of Art & Collecting Art" Peter Gough, SCA VP will share excerpts from a speech given by Kevin Spacey at the Kennedy Centre in Washington, DC as part of the National Arts Advocacy Day in 2011. Naomi Levine is a lawyer and avid art collector, Chair of the Board of the Winnipeg Art Gallery, represents Manitoba on the board of the Fathers of Confederation Buildings Trust and a member of the Canadian Art Summit. Ms. Levine will speak about the relationship between public galleries, governments and artists and about the role of artists in the community. RSVP 423-8460 ext.3 or [email protected] I would say many artists are also photographers...amateur or professional...we go out take photos for inspiration, not necessarily to copy it (the photograph does that nicely). I took this one in the valley near Wolfville after an afternoon of apple picking. I have always been attracted by the geometric patterns and texture in landscapes....now to process it in my mind's eye and create something extraordinary...no pressure of course! |
