PIN PALS

A wee bit new

We've been up to some things as of late and we'd like to share them with you!

 
Meet Joséphine, she's a new hanging paper doll, and I was lucky enough to receive the first ever of her for my birthday awhile back. I love her. Look at those pom poms!

The Joséphine's and their beau homme were Sara's entry in the Hiatus group show at the Long Haul.


My entry was a Cross-Stitched piece of a fictional ferris wheel called the Hiatus. 


We're gearing up for Puces Pop Printemps happening this weekend, so we've been stitching, and cutting and pasting away.
 
A couple of new barrettes include watermelon hearts and cat hats.






 Mini Joséphine's will be for sale this weekend, along with other spring Pin Pal goods.
We hope to see you!

"Ferment" Vernisage at our studio, the Long Hall

A Long-awaited weekend at the Long Hall!

 

This January 2008, the Long Hall grew l o n g e r. Once a small little-known visual arts work space and gallery made up of 15 artists, it has now doubled in size! With twice the number of artists, and twice the amount of studio space, the Long Hall has survived the trials and threats of its past and has much to look forward to. Our renewed space is relaunching, with 2 events in three days:

FERMENT:
The Long Hall / Le Corrid'art presents its 7th Annual Thematic group show. This year's theme is "Ferment". 28 of the Long Haulers have visually responded to this active, textured, and visceral word. Painting, sculpture, drawing, photography, performance, video, plant art, and installation. Beer, wine, vodka, sauerkraut, and all things fermented will be served!

Vernissage, Friday May 23rd, 2008, 7:00pm to midnight. With special guest deejay N O M N R Y N
Gallery hours: Saturdays and Sundays the 24th, 25th, 31st of May and the 1st of June from 12noon - 6pm
Weekdays (May 26 - 30) by appointment only : 514 948 0227

OPEN STUDIOS
On Saturday and Sunday, May 24th and 25th, the Long Hall will open its many doors for a weekend of visual delight and open arms to you, the public! 30 artists working under the same roof welcome you to their private studio spaces. Artists will be present. Works in all media will be on display, much of it for sale! Ferment show will be open for viewing and the beginnings of the Long Hall sculpture and garden project will have begun.

Open Studios: Sat. and Sun. May 24th and 25th from 12 - 6pm

Come and be a part of our thriving community!
