Solo Exhibition by Artist Bonny Macnab

Reflections of the Earth

Solo Exhibition by Artist Bonny Macnab
September 7 - 28
Barr Colony Heritage Cultural Centre

This show is called “Reflections of the Earth.” Silk has provided Bonny Macnab a “canvas” for the translation of spirit through light, color, pattern and movement. This body of work was created with the intention of seeing water as a reflection of the earth’s spirit. “I have always had a strong connection to water. One would think it was because I was raised on the west coast and walked miles by the ocean. Living on the prairies I have found the same vastness in the skies, fields and beautiful lakes. I look at water and am amazed at the strength and power it holds and the peace and beauty it brings. The same body of water can be frightening or calming. The colors of the earth it reflects are infinite. Water has always been an inspiration and lesson to my life.”

Bonny Macnab has been an artist all her life. Growing up on the west coast in Canada she found out in school she excelled in art and all the variations of creativity it had to offer. After graduation she moved to the prairies where the wide open space, living close to the boreal forest and the long winters provide perfect opportunity to develop her skills. Her most recognized medium has been portraits in watercolor. She has been able to carry this into silk and finds that the silk provides another dimension to her work through the movement of the fabric. She attends retreats thought out the year with other accomplished artists, which provides inspiration and knowledge. Bonny also hosts many classes and retreats to continue the shared learning and teaching. Mapleridge Gallery and studio overlooks a coulee where you can see rolling hills for miles.

Artist’s Reception Tuesday, September 10 from 7 - 9 PM

Art Everywhere in Our City

Brandi Hofer Showing

Alley Art

Streetscapes, Lloydminster’s Downtown Business District, has started a new program called Alley Art. The goal is to create tons of murals in the back alleys downtown. Outlined below are a couple different options provided for property owners. Streetscapes will be contributing 25% and are in search of another partner willing to contribute 25%.  The plan is:

• Step 1: Find property owners
• Step 2: Find partners
• Step 3: Find an artist with skills to paint as well as having a skill set to oversee the community joining in the painting 
• Step 4: Work with artist to determine project type.  Paint by numbers or whichever type is most recommended.
• Step 5: Marketing and rallying people to come out and paint.  Have a kick off day held as an event with a bbq, beverages, and painting.

Options available to property owners:

Option 1: Commission an artist to paint a mural.

• Streetscapes will offer grants. (Projects $1000 - $5000, 25% grant)  (Projects $5001 - $10,000, 15% grant)
• Cost of murals can vary significantly by size of wall and detail of the painting. 

Option 2: Community Project.

• Streetscapes will commission an artist to head the project and schools, the Youth Centre, and people in the community can come and paint.
• Example: An artist designs a paint by numbers and does the outline.  People from the community can come and paint some spots, then the artist does the finishing touches.
• Example: Get schools involved.  An artist is commissioned to head the project and Streetscapes will work with some of the schools to have students work on the project as well.

 

Option 3: Open Graffiti Wall

• Invite artists to come and paint graffiti on the wall
• Several other cities have done this, including Edmonton: http://edmonton.ctvnews.ca/city-hopes-legal-graffiti-walls-will-deter-vandals-1.1341116
• The costs for you would be close to nothing besides your wall. 
• Streetscapes could have a kick off day for the open graffiti wall, find some paint donations, invite local professional artists, and get the ball rolling on it.  Inviting some professional artists would get some structured art on the wall and then the recreational artists would paint around (typically graffiti artists will not tag over other people art).
