End of the Among Friends Art Show and Sale

After a busy summer the Buckhorn Tuesday Painting Group has returned to paint at St. Matthews Church in Buckhorn from September through to the end of April.

While the Group broke for lunch the members of the Buckhorn Artists' Group held a meeting about the dates for their shows for next year.


















They decided that after 26 years they were no longer going to hold their spring show Among Friends over the Victoria Day Weekend.

Discussion then continued on to the Shades of Summer Show and Sale. The dates are to be changed and by next month they should decide the length of the show and the dates they on which they are going to be held.

I will post the updated information as it become available.

Today we opened early to accommodate the people who also came out for the annual yard sale held by Buckhorn Community Care in the front parking lot of St. Matthews Church.


















Although it remained cool throughout the day it started off warmer 54F (12C) than yesterday in the morning but the temperature did not rise as much remaining a constant 56F (13C) throughout the afternoon with a steady rainfall until closing time.

The one nice thing about the rain and cooler temperatures was that the attendance was up considerably and we had a steady stream of people coming through the show all day.

Nine paintings were sold by Diane Collins, Heather Grant, Penny Little and Susan Sydney. Pottery was sold by JoAnne Connell Northey and small items were purchased from Diane Collins, JoAnne Connell Northey, Pat Harvey, Barbara McGregor and Bonny Windover.

First Day of the Shades of Summer Art Show and Sale

Setting up the 24th Annual Shades of Summer Art Show

Last night as usual we set up the panels and tables for the Shades of Summer Art Show and Sale.

Some of the artists set their art onto the panels last night so that they would not have to return the day before the show while others preferred to come back today to set up their art without having to rush to finish setting up everything.

It didn't take long for those of us who returned today to move all the boxes and bags holding their artwork into the Church and start unpacking the larger pieces. Once they were set in place on the panels it was easy to hang the rest of the paintings around them.

Once the main panels were finally filled it was time to put a couple of paintings up on the front panels where our theme for this show was "Cottage Country".

















By then it was time to take a break and most of the artists went next door to the Cody Inn to have lunch and relax for a little while before either returning to finish hanging their work or heading home to enjoy the rest of their day.

There is space for each artist to hang a few smaller paintings on the short grids set up on the front table and display their brochures and business cards in front of them.

Each artist also has a section of space on the tables, which run along the outside edge of the church hall for cards, brochures, containers with matted and shrink wrapped paintings, small paintings set on easels or binders with unframed original art.

Lastly everyone leaves a list of their artwork at the front desk.

We look forward to seeing some of you at our show during the next nine days.

The hours for our show are:
09 Aug 14 - 10:00am - 5:00pm
10 Aug 14 - 12:30pm - 4:00pm
11 Aug 14 - 10:00am - 5:00pm

Last Day of the Among Friends Art Show

Today we had a steady stream of people coming through to see the show which was a little unusual.

Most years the last day of this long holiday weekend people are packing up and leaving early to head back to the city from their cottages, since the families with children have to get them home early enough so they get some sleep before heading back to school the next day.

Two paintings were sold by Catherine Selinger and Tom Young as well as small items were sold by Diane Collins, Pat Harvey and JoAnne Northey.

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

We look forward to seeing some of you at our next show being held in August here at St. Matthews Church.

Among Friends Art Show

Today we had a steady stream of people going through the show more than likely due to the day being a little warmer and we had a mix of sun and cloud for most of the day until the last hour of the show when the storm clouds rolled in and we had a downpour of rain

Three paintings were sold by Irene Smith, Tom Young and Catherine Selinger. Small items were sold by Diane Collins, Pat Harvey and JoAnne Connell Northey.

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

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

The 26th Annual Among Friends Art Show and Sale

Today is the first day of the 26th Annual Among Friends Art Show and Sale at St. Matthews Church in Buckhorn, Ontario.

Just when we thought that spring had finally arrived with the warm temperatures of the last few days Mother Nature surprised us with the temperature going back to freezing 32F (0C) it is going to be a while yet before we have consistent seasonal temperatures.

Due to the low temperatures and the high cost of gas $1.34 litre ($5.96 imperial gallon) the turnout was much less than expected although we did have a number of people going through the show.

One painting was sold by Heather Grant and small items were sold by Diane Collins.

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

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

Setting Up the Among Friends Art Show

As usual last night we set up the grids, tables and chairs for the show.






















A couple of the artists also set up their display areas as they were unable to be there for setting up today.






















Most of the artists started setting up at 9:30 this morning and at lunch time headed next door to the Cody Inn for and enjoyable meal of Chinese food.






















By 4:30pm. the last of the artists had completed setting up their displays and the show was ready for the opening tomorrow.















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

Show Opening at Kawartha Artists' Gallery and Studio

The opening of the Buckhorn Artists' Group show at KAGS was fairly well attended despite the weather.

Many of the patrons were expecting each artist to have his or her own area displaying their art.

Instead they were surprised that ten artists exhibiting an eclectic mix of various styles and themes had it all came together as a pleasing display with each artist's work complimenting the others.

Some pieces caused a lot of discussion among the visitors about style, technique and colour.

















The beautiful handmade, one of a kind pottery created by JoAnne Connell Northey were well received and a number of pieces sold.
















The art cards were another item that was well received by the guests with Diane Collins selling a wide variety of them.
















Many nice comments were written in the guest book about the exhibit and a number of patrons have stated that they will return to see the show again before it closes on 03 April 2014.
















If you have the chance, please come out and enjoy the display.
