Orleans: A Celebration of 150 Years: The year 2010 is the 150th Anniversary of the founding of Orleans. In recognition of this historic milestone, Arteast has chosen this theme for its first juried exhibition in the Trinity Gallery of the new Shenkman Arts Centre. Artists are invited to offer works that reflect on the continuum of local history, in which we all play a role. This anniversary year gives us a chance to honour the places, people, things and experiences of the past and to embrace the future.

The exhibition will take place from February 18th to March 23, 2010.

Looking Back ...

Hidden Gems Exhibit at the Gloucester Gallery: Visual interpretations of the Ottawa/Outaouais region's best kept secrets, special places that only locals may know. Hidden spots where plein air artists meet to capture the first thaw, the setting sun or a spring bud. February 19th to March 24th, 2009. This was the last Arteast exhibit held at the Gloucester Gallery location before its move to the new Shenkman Art Centre.

Trees: The trees we love, the ones we hate to lose, the ones we watch grow, the ones that provide shelter, and the figurative ones. They warm our bodies and souls, clean the air, inspire the artist and ground us. These are visual expressions of one of man's best friends. Arteast at Gloucester Gallery with "Trees". August 28 to September 20, 2008.
