UPDATE!  MORE ITEMS FROM THE AUCTION HAVE BEEN ADDED TO THE GALLERY.

Art and the auction… it makes us sounds so spiffy!  Seriously though, this year the warehouse is practically bursting at the seams with an eclectic mix of art, from both local and ‘not so local’ artists.

In the prints and painting categories, we have  our largest selection.  Our most recent donation is a bright and happy piece from local artist Heather Lamorie and is the featured photo in this gallery.  We have been given some lovely acrylics, oils, and special edition prints – one of which is a piece from Thomas Kinkade (‘Lamplight Manor’), and there are two prints from Chantal Poulin.

Photography has returned.  Jim Rhoditis (whose work was recently shown at Les Saisons) has donated again; a black and white photo called ‘Quarry’, from his Gatineau series.   Local photographer Geof Burbidge has donated the photo of the cedar-strip canoe on still water ~ already very popular amongst the Fundraising committee.

We have some lovely artisan works: wrought iron pieces from The Townsmiths/Artisan Forgeron, pottery from Maple Leaf Pottery, and this very cozy looking duvet cover from The Old Chelsea Slipcover Co.

These pieces will be available at the Live & Silent Auction on the 12th up at Camp Fortune.  There are so many we’re thinking of devoting a corner just for them!  Enjoy!
