Welcome to Saturday everyone. It’s a little wet and cold but the market is about to begin and there is warm coffee and delicious treats to be had. So get up and get yourself down to Creamery Square. I am heading over for a chai and a piece of delicious carrot cake. And then I’ll be back to the gallery to welcome you in. Linda Wright’s show, Emergence is here until next Sunday so if you haven’t seen it yet, today is a good day to do that. It is beautiful.
And of course Artisan Alley is full of great pieces of local talent. Perfect for the best gifts. Stop by and say hi. I’ll give you the tour.
Our Fall Raffle has started as well. Joe The Flower Guy has generously donated his piece “Daffodils”. Tickets are available in the gallery 1 for $5 and 3 for $10. Get your chance to win this gorgeous piece. The draw will take place on December 13th. Thank you for your support.

We're proud to be able to present a talented group of classical guitarists this fall. Join us in welcoming The Annapolis Guitar Quartet on Thursday Nov 5 at 7pm!

The German/Canadian Amadeus Guitar Duo and the Canadian Duo Cormier-Martin have known each other for many years after meeting at guitar and music festivals around the world. The love of programs with great diversity motivated the four musicians to create an evening with works for one, two and four guitars. Works by Handel, Bach and other baroque composers, as well as classical and romantic music, but also modern music dedicated to the
duos by Dale Kavanagh and Carlo Domenico make up the Guitar Gala Night - a concert evening with virtuoso, lyrical and expressive music full of temperament.

Tickets are available online https://thegrace.tickit.ca/events/33240 or call us at 902-657-3500 to reserve over the phone.

It has been a week! The 7th performance of Anne of Green Gables is on the stage as I type this. The first 6 were amazing and you’ve been filling the theatre for each one. There are very few seats left for the remaining performances on Thursday and Friday. And the Saturday matinee is sold out!! Thank you for supporting these talented members of our community and The Grace Arts Centre.
This weekend is going to be a busy one with Thanksgiving and the show. And of course our exhibit in the Ice House by Linda Wright is here until the end of the month and people are loving it. And as a bonus, Linda herself will be here on Saturday from 11-1pm (and maybe Friday afternoon too) to meet people and answer questions. So please stop by and have a chat and a look at her beautiful work.
Just a reminder that there will be a rug hooking workshop here in the gallery on October 24th. We will be making pumpkin coasters. Give me a call at 902-657-3500 or email me at [email protected] to register. Bring a friend and enjoy the afternoon creating a lovely project and eating cookies. There will be cookies.
