On my recent outings I came across these recyclable home decorating designs.  IN the Home or Studio:

They might not be to everyone’s taste, but we all agree that they’re conversation starters and attention-grabbing to say the least.

Gordon Smith Gallery of Canadian Art – 2121 Lonsdale Ave., North Vancouver.

NEW: ART EXHIBIT at the Gordon Smith Gallery of Canadian ART:

Mr. Gordon  A. Smith o.c. curated this exhibition to show his appreciation of this exciting group of local artists (most were in attendance at the opening) and arts educators.  He believes the artists featured  here deserve great attention and praise for their artistic endeavors and contribution to arts education in British Columbia.  WORK IS ART speaks to Mr. Smith’s expansive definition of the term art itself – everything can be seen as ART.  It is the drive, passion, and quality of work that creates art.  Not simply putting paint to canvas, but how your chosen practice is undertaken and conceptualized.  The 11 artists featured in this exhibition have described what Mr. Smith’s mentorship has meant to their lives and artisic careers. Their individual stories paint a vivid picture of what Gordon means to the Gallery, to our community, to countless students, and to the development of art in Canada.
