NAC Shuts Shop for Easter Weekend
NAC will be closed Good Friday through Dyngus Day Monday for the long weekend and in preparation for Small Feats! We’ll reopen on Tuesday 7 April at 10AM.
SMALL FEATS
Largest Art Exhibit + Sale in Niagara
Saturday 11 April 2015 at NAC
Doors at 8:00PM – VIP Preview at 7:40PM*
All the squares fell out! And landed on the Niagara Artists Centre like an anvil on a Beechwood doughnut.
We’ve spent the week at NAC accumulating near to a hectare of stare warranting art work. There’s simply no telling what exactly we’ve got, you’re going to have to see it to believe it!
The SMALL FEATS show and sale is NAC’s largest annual fundraiser and an assured rocking good time in beautiful downtown St. Catharines-on-the-parking-lot. Every year NAC challenges our artist members to create killer-diller visual art confined to an area no larger than one square foot. These are veritable OXO cubes of artistry, the sweet and condensed distillations of visual expression. They pack a wallop but they’re small enough to hang almost anywhere in your house: in the hall, beside the fridge, in front of the TV, or hey, stick one up in the car.
Every year artists respond to the call–and to the efforts and talents of their peers–and every year the show gets larger and the art gets stronger. From over 300 entries, we’re going to skim the cream off of the top and show and sell the best 150. A preview of the show goes online next week at nac.org.
On Saturday 11 April, NAC’s Dennis Tourbin Members Gallery at 354 St. Paul will be rammed with art, all of it selling for the paltry sum of $200 per. Each of the contributing artists has generously chosen to split half or donate all of the proceeds to NAC, their friendly neighbourhood, charitably registered artist-run centre.
Take a look, find out what makes Niagara distinct. Own a piece of this place–our place. Buy Local Art!
Don’t miss Niagara’s largest visual art show and sale. Special viewing and purchasing opportunities are available. Call NAC to find out more about how to get exactly what you want, even if it’s just this once.
