Markham 48 Studio Tour & Sale
Varley Art Gallery
Nw date, new location, and a few new artists. This year, we’re a “one-stop”
studio tour! Some of our studios were getting to be a bit too much out of the way for many
of our visitors, so we’ve all come together to show our work at one location –
the Varley Art Gallery in lovely downtown Unionville. As well as showing our finished
pieces, some of us will be demonstrating the techniques we use to create our artwork. Come
by, chat with us, watch the demos, look through the artwork for sale, stay for a coffee.
Oh, and don’t forget to fill out a ballot for a chance to win a piece of artwork
donated by the artists! For more information, visit www.markham48.com. |
