Hi Everyone,

Happy Family Day! What does that really mean and why is there no parade for families?

Anyways, back to the art...

I'll be participating in TORONTO ART EXPO this March.

TORONTO ART EXPO at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, March 6th to 9th 2008
Toronto?s premier fine art and cultural event that opens the spring season welcomes you to its sixth and largest expression, celebrating the value of fine art in our lives. With over 350 distinguished, established Canadian and International artists and galleries from 12 countries exhibiting, it has become a destination for selective art connoisseurs and many other art business professionals--and they have come from all over North America and Europe for this weekend of Art. With thousands of works to choose from, the Toronto Art Expo is the Art Fair for all budgets, from the first time buyer to the seasoned investment collector, both personal and corporate, featuring rare pieces from International art styles and traditions representing leading world trends in contemporary art.

Now if you want to come and show you're support at the Opening Night Gala on Thursday March 6, 5pm to 1030pm, please send me a message with your full address and I'll mail you a free pass for you and a guest. Do it ASAP before they all disappear and I'll see you there.

Members Gallery web page creation

Dear Member!

To build a strong membership base of the Society and create publicity for our members we would like You to participate in the Members Gallery web page creation, that will be a part of the Portrait Society of Canada web site.
The Members Gallery page will introduce the Artists-Members of the Society and display few Portraiture works along with the short artistic statement for each member. The page will give You a good opportunity to show and promote Your work and build a strong recognition in the Canadian Art Community. This is the first step to maintain the Portrait Brokers service and form the Portrait Agency with the commission's opportunity for each member of the Society.

If You would like to place Your information on the Members Gallery web page, please submit:

2-3 best images of Your portraiture artwork

Your photo (optional)
