Announcement - Owen Sound Artists’ Co-op

UPDATE - my temporary membership at the co-op ended much sooner than I had hoped.  Currently looking for another home for my art.

I’m super excited (my family would argue that’s not possible) to announce that I am now a temporary member of the Owen Sound Artists’ Co-op located in the McKay building in downtown Owen Sound.  This has been a goal of mine since I was first a guest artist many years ago now for a number of reasons:

- When asked, “Where can I see some of your work?” I now have an answer other than “In my basement.”

- Having always struggled calling myself an “Artist” this reaffirms that I now must be one.

- As those of you who know my politics, I believe co-ops are a much fairer and more community-focused way of doing things.  And I believe they are the way of the future.

- As someone who has defended downtown Owen Sound for a long time, I am happy that I now get to be part of it.  Both having my art there, but also that I get to work there occasionally.

Today is my first opportunity to do so.  So if you are downtown Owen Sound between 1 and 5 today, feel free to stop in and say hi.  And if you want to see and purchase some of my work, which currently includes large framed, canvas and acrylic prints, books and loose, unframed prints, my work is in the back corner by the food.

Hope to see you there.  Your support of what I do is much appreciated.
