*Subject:* CALL TO ARTISTS: Solo Galleria Exhibition April 2016 CALL TO ARTISTS: Galleria Exhibition April 2016 Dear Artists, We are currently looking for an artist to put on a solo exhibition in our Galleria exhibition space at the Rotary Centre for the Arts for the month of April. The Galleria is approximately 12 x 100 feet. It is perfectly suited to show large or medium sized 2-dimensional work such as painting, printmaking or photography. Work must be wired on the back and ready to hang. There are no submission guidelines for this exhibition except that there should be some consistency to the work shown. If you know an artist who would like to show with you and whose work compliments yours we will also consider doing a duo show. This is a last minute call as we had a last minute cancellation! The exhibition will run for the month of April. Artists who have had solo exhibitions in the building recently will not be considered at this time. Please e-mail info@rotarycentreforthearts.com for more information. Very Best Regards, Shannon Lester Gallery Coordinator Rotary Centre for the Arts 421 Cawston Avenue, Kelowna BC V1Y 6Z1 Phone: 250-717-5304 Fax: 250-717-5314 www.RotaryCentrefortheArts.com

The good news is that Dominik will be back in 2017 for another workshop! Having the privilege of working in a small group with a maximum of 12 fellow painters in a beautiful setting is a wonderful opportunity to immerse yourself in the arts – or the goat kids, horses, highland cattle, chicken, take your pick! I am very excited to have Dominik Modlinski, David Langevin, Michael O’Toole and Suzanne Northcott coming our way to this secluded valley in the Okanagan. Throughout the winter I have been busy creating new recipes for the meals during workshops to keep everyone happy and energetic – maybe that cookbook you have been asking for will happen one day… Take advantage of this unique opportunity as we will be only offering spring/summer workshops for this year.
