SUMMARY:Ron Shuebrook and Frances Thomas: In Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Run: October 21\, 2023 – January 20\, 2024\nCurator: Mary Reid \nRon Shuebrook and Frances Thomas have each undertaken a serious engagement with abstraction. Both artists are highly skilled at manipulating paint to highlight wonderful connections between line\, form\, colour and scale. The intent of this exhibition is to highlight the avenues of abstraction unique to each artist\, while finding commonalities and celebrating the differences. \nThis exhibition and accompanying publication were co-produced with the MacLaren Art Centre. It will tour to the MacLaren Art Centre in the summer of 2024 and then onwards to the Art Gallery of Northumberland and the Art Gallery of Algoma in 2025. \nThe Woodstock Art Gallery and MacLaren Art Centre extend their sincere thanks to the Olga Korper Gallery\, the Peter Robertson Gallery\, and all the private individuals who contributed to this important project.

SUMMARY:The Photographic Art Form – Sat. Jan. 6\, 2024. Online
DESCRIPTION:The Photographic Art Form\, Online class\, live via Zoom\nSaturday\, January 6\, 2024. 1:00 to 3:30 pm\n1 to 3:30 pm EDT.  Ages 16+\nRating:  Beginner to advanced.\nInstructor:  Sylvia Galbraith \nPhotography has a long history as an art form\, but is often misunderstood when considering its place in the greater world of art.  How does it fit in when considered with painting or sculpture or other media?  How do we know when a photograph is simply a snapshot\, or something more compelling? \nIn this interactive course\, we’ll look at the evolution of photography through different genres\, and learn how to evaluate our own images in terms of artistic merit rather than as a purely technical endeavour.  Other topics will include photography’s place in the art world\, how to develop a connected series of images\, and how to identify trends or styles that influence how we both perceive and create our work.  Students will be able to ask questions throughout the program\, and are encouraged to share one or two of their own photographs for discussion.  Access to the class recording will be available for one month afterwards. \nThis course is designed for those who want to take their photography to a higher level by considering dynamic content rather than technical skills\, and is suitable for all levels. \nFee: $95.00 + HST \n Register Online or call 519-787-7040 to register by phone. \n
