Exhibitions at the Colborne Art Gallery

On a beautiful Saturday July 8th, the treasured heritage building of Cramahe Township that 20 years ago became the Colborne Art Gallery was host to the opening of the Annual Juried Show. The gallery was packed with over 130 people present to celebrate the 27 artists whose work was chosen from among 109 pieces submitted for jurying by Eileen Menzel.

The work of 38 artists whose past participation has built the only professional co-operative gallery in the area will be on display from May 27 to July 2, celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Colborne Art Gallery.

After middle age, women in our society can tend to feel invisible unless they do something dramatic or outlandish to draw attention to themselves. This show of paintings and drawings celebrates the natural vitality and beauty of older women as seen and captured by artists who are their contemporaries. It invites viewers to recalibrate how they measure attractiveness – and to look more closely at women of a certain age.

The Colborne Art Gallery is pleased to host a one-man show displaying the works of guest artist Ronald Peter. Ronald has been in many juried shows over the past few years and his talent has garnered him numerous awards and accolades from the arts community. This particular show is entitled “Power of the Pen” – an exhibition of pen and ink drawings and paintings that speak to the pen and its ability to create powerful images in a simple yet striking way. He portrays culturally intriguing landscapes and found still life images.

May 28 to July 3, 2016. Opening reception May 28, 2 to 4 PM. Occasionally a painting can stop me! This is what happened when I entered The Colborne Art Gallery’s Juried Show in 2014 to see Audrey Smith’s 60-inch-tall piece titled, “Vulnerable.” My response was visceral—because it was a life-sized painting of a young woman, sitting on a chair and baring her soul. The composition of the piece was dynamic. No wonder it won the Juror’s Prize that year!

Some of our community’s most creative ideas come from the minds and hands of our young people, but opportunities for youth to show their art to the public are few and far between. That’s why 11-year-old Zoe Bergeron was motivated to organize an exhibition for the youth of Northumberland County. Exhibition to be held May 28 to July 3, 2016. Opening reception May 28th, 2 to 4 PM.
