The End is Neigh or What's Up

And now that I have your attention, the end happened for the previous blog look and it has been updated. Much better IMHO.

The important things are what's happening now and soon:

The Barracks Shops are open again this year and I am back in the Garrison Studio shop. Stop in. The shops are all local artisan work and it is Fredericton's best kept secret.

The New Brunswick Crafts Council is having its annual fine craft show and sale in the Rothesay Commons this weekend, July 9 (10-6) & 10 (11-5). It took me awhile to make up my mind about going but some friends talked me into it. Assuming that they will still be friends on Sunday night since we are all bunking in and travelling together for the show.

Fredericton Pride is presenting the Alt + ♥ Art Market at the Charlotte Street Arts Centre on July 30th. Should be a fun event with art, music and craft from 1-4 and portions of the sale proceeds going to Pride.

The NBCC is also going to host a Biennale show at Government House this year from 14 July to 25 August. I'm submitting, so with any luck, I'll also be exhibiting.

And on the visual art front, I've been hitting the ink pretty hard lately and have some cool stuff happening. Prints are for sale at the Garrison shop and will be at the Alt+♥ market too. At the moment I am contemplating what to do for the "Lost and Found" exhibition at the Arts Centre.

Lastly, there is a new craft show in town with the Fredericton Fall Craft Show, October 1&2. Mailed my application yesterday.

One of these days I'll bring you up to date on the past year. It's been a wild ride.
