EXHIBIT OPENING: The Colour Orange
The Gallery at L.E. Shore’s colour exhibition is back again! This year, we are excited to be celebrating the colour ORANGE.
The ExhibitEach year, The Gallery’s Arts & Culture Council hosts a vibrant, color-themed exhibition, with past themes including blue, green, gold, turquoise, and more. Local artists are invited to submit artwork that aligns with the chosen color, and the exhibit is displayed in the "salon style," with artwork covering the walls from floor to ceiling. This format creates an eye-popping display featuring a range of interpretations of the theme.
The term “salon style” originates from the French Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture’s regular exhibitions, which began in Paris in 1667. To showcase the work of so many students, the academy hung paintings as close together as possible, right from the floor to the ceiling! When the exhibition moved to the Salon Carre at the Louvre in 1725, the show became known simply as the “Salon".

All are welcome to attend the opening festivities on January 31 between 2-4pm. Enjoy refreshments, mingle with the dozens of artists who have contributed their work to the show and take in the stunning display.

Death Café: A Group Discussion About Death
Death Café: A Group Discussion About Death.
Join us for an open and relaxed discussion about death and dying, as we shift the conversation from one of fear and avoidance to that of familiarity, comfort, and consciousness.
Led by Be McCarthy. Be is a death doula - walking with people in the final months of their sacred dying journey. They honour the beliefs, priorities, and needs of all. Though their support is explicitly non-denominational , they can integrate aspects of Tibetan Buddhism should a person have interest or curiosity.
This is a discussion group rather than a grief support group, with no intention of leading participants to any conclusion, product, or course of action. Refreshments will be served. Limited space. Please register below.
