Every month is for art in my world, but this month is special. A while ago, we were given an opportunity to curate a show at Dales Gallery, right here in our neighbourhood. GJ and I have both shown our own work there, and love the owner and atmosphere. There was an opening for this month and we decided we would organize a show for our friend Michael Lewis. It’s been a real treat working with Michael and the gallery to make this show happen. Michael has had some great press (here and here) and we’re very happy that sales are going well. Here are a few photos of the process and the show.
Hanging day: Michael and GJ deciding where each of the 24 pieces will be.
It all came together quite quickly; we were able to go for lunch by about 1 pm!
People begin to gather at the opening; a very cold evening, February 6, 2014
The gallery is so beautiful and showcases Michael’s work really well.
