Riverview artists group
I am so excited to introduce this group to you. I want to introduce it, though I may be almost as new to it as you are. But hey, we can learn together right? (oh, and above: that is a pic of some sea shells on the window sill, yearning for summer….)
I want to showcase local Calgary artisits on my blog more. Both so that I can learn about them, and also so I can promote their work. Last week we talked about “the New Gallery” in Eau Claire Market. This week I want to let you know about a local artist group called “Riverview Artists Group”
I am so intrigued by the idea of an artist group. That they support each other, organize shows and push each other in their work. They also do group paintings, where they each start one, and then switch work, so that it becomes a collaborative piece. I love that. They show every month in different places around Calgary. They will have a display up at the Trans Canada Building downtown Oct 19 – 23. I am excited to see it.
I met Terri at the Calgary Mom’s trade Fair. She introduced me to the group. Its so nice when I meet other artists. Working on my own, I get little chance to connect with other painters…
So, here it is, check out the site, the artwork and the show. Let me know what you think about it, leave a comment – and we will be talking about the work on our podcast which will be recorded this thursday night, and online, right here, this friday.

I love the idea of an artists group. I’d love to find one, if only to have other like-minded people to chatter on with while creating. These people sound Serious, though, I think there is also a place for a more casual type of group.

I am thinking of starting an artist jam at my house. I need to figure out a scenario that works for people – I think weekend days might be a better choice.
