Last Day of Among Friends Art Show and Sale

It was a hot and humid day with the threat of thunderstorms, which had many of the cottagers heading home early. Needless to say there were only a few people visiting the show today.

Small items were sold by Diane Collins.



The hours for our show are:
20 May 13 - 10:00am - 5:00pm

Looking forward to seeing some of you at our show being held this Victoria Day weekend.

Among Friends Art Show

Today is the second day of the 25th Annual Among Friends Art Show and it is still hard to believe that we have been exhibiting here at St. Matthews Church for a quarter of a century.

Many of the people who attended church this morning stayed to view our artwork and once again we had a steady stream of people going through the show.

Today five paintings were sold by Heather Grant, Penny Little, Barbara McGregor and Bonny Windover, with small items sold by Diane Collins.

I hope you will be able to come out and visit the show either today or before it closes tomorrow.

The hours for our show are:
19 May 13 - 12:30pm - 5:00pm
20 May 13 - 10:00am - 5:00pm

25th Annual Among Friends Art Show and Sale

The day has started off with bright sunshine and warm temperatures with just enough of a breeze to make it a very pleasant and enjoyable day.

The Church is once again holding its annual plant and bake sale outside at the front of the parking lot. Many of us will be going to see what plants they have for our gardens and of course with the bake sale what desserts we will be taking home as a treat or for dessert for supper.


One of the photographers from Lakefield Herald came in to cover our show and took photographs of the art exhibited and some of the members of the Group.

We had a steady stream of people going through the show with three paintings being sold from Rebecca Bilcox and Bonny Windover, JoAnne Connell Northey sold pottery and small items were sold by Diane Collins.

The hours for our show are:
18 May 13 - 9:00am - 5:00 pm
19 May 13 - 12:30pm - 5:00pm
20 May 13 - 10:00am - 5:00pm

Looking forward to seeing some of you at our show being held this Victoria Day weekend.

Among Friends Art Show and Sale

Today was spent hanging the paintings and getting everything ready for the the 25th Annual Among Friends Art Show to be held at St. Matthew's Anglican Church in Buckhorn, Ontario.













It is amazing how quickly 25 years have gone by and the number of changes that have happened over those years.













From the pegboard panels we used to have for displaying our artwork to the much lighter weight black metal grids we use now. The way the tables are set up and the smaller grids used at the front of the Church Hall to display a few pieces of art from each member.













Replacing our old wooden signs with newer versions, as well as having a couple of brightly coloured banners made to help promote the show.













There have also been many changes to the members of the Buckhorn Artists' Group over the years; of which there are still three of the founding members - Helen Sheppard, Irene Smith and myself who continue to exhibit their artwork.




I look forward to the opening of the show tomorrow, the weather is supposed to be nice for the entire weekend. The Church is going to hold their plant and bake sale tomorrow as they did last year. Most of us will be either getting plants or baked goods, and in some cases both.













The hours for our show are:
18 May 13 - 9:00am - 5:00pm
19 May 13 - 12:30pm - 5:00pm
20 May 13 - 10:00am - 5:00pm



We hope you will be able to come out and enjoy our art at some point over the Victoria Day weekend.
