This Month:

August

C.P. Hughes: I have been a resident of Owen Sound since 1989. Before I discovered painting, I explored wood sculpture and took life sculpture classes at the Ontario College of Art in Toronto. In the last few years I have rediscovered wood carving to create wooden automata.

Maureen Munden: Maureen has a BFA from York University. She has taught children’s art in the Collingwood and Thornbury for over 20 years. Bringing creativity to life is what drives her.

She sees magic and mystery out there in nature and is always trying to translate this beauty onto a canvas. Hiking, skiing, kayaking, canoeing and camping all lead to  inspiration. To give you the feeling of a moment or a scene is what keeps her painting and creating.

Briana McFayden: Briana is our Next Generation artist for August.

Guest Artist Schedule 

About The Guest Artist Program

The Guest Artist program at the Owen Sound Artists’ Co-operative is a great way participate with our group. Monthly, we host three artists in a dedicated spot in our gallery. This program is extremely popular and we have long waiting lists! We are hoping to accept more guests monthly in the future. When we are looking for new members, we often look at the list of past guest members.

How To Apply

Our Legacy Gallery Committee juries work submitted monthly, and if the work seems to be a good fit with our establishment, a month is determined with the input of our membership member. We ask potential guests to fill out a guest artist’s application.   Please plan to bring work in for jurying two to three days before the monthly committee meeting and arrange to pick up the next day. (Contact the store manager for details on the monthly date).

A good representation of your work must be submitted and appear as it would for sale and display in the store, i.e. all paintings, drawings must be titled, framed and/or glazed and ready for hanging. All work must be intended for sale. No more than 6 items please. Any relevant information regarding working methods, materials and pricing should accompany your work along with a brief artist’s biography or resume.   When choosing you pieces, think of a body of cohesive work, rather than all the different styles or disciplines you practice.
