Arts Council spring show this weekend

Fred Ryan

The Aylmer Arts Council will hang and display the works of thirty-three local and regional artists this year — the largest number of artists showing. The Council’s annual Spring Art Exhibit will be held at the Aydelu Centre, 94 du Patrimoine in Aylmer, and runs from Friday, April 4 through Sunday, April 6. The Friday showing bgins at 7:30 pm, open to 9:30 pm; Saturday and Sunday are all day affairs, from 11 am to 5 pm.

The Spring Art Exhibit is Aylmer’s largest annual artistic event and one of the national capital region’s premiere annual exhibitions, attracting hundreds of art lovers from the city, region, and both provinces. Artists, all members of the Arts Council, work towards this show all year long, which means a high calibre of creative work on display, from oil and acrylic paintings, watercolours, silk painting, sculpture, print-making, pottery and line-drawing. All works are for sale.

The Arts Council will also introduce the works of young artists who are members of the Council’s mentoring program; these are arts students from Grande- Riviere High School. Members of the Symmes Inn Museum will also be participating. Various prizes will be awarded, and the public will be asked to pick a public choice.

There is no admissions fee, and parking is free. For more information: www.artsaylmer.com.
