ANDARA Gallery's
5th Anniversary OPEN HOUSE
May 18th & 19th - 11 Am to 5 PM
Tara Wilkinson and Andrew Csafordi, artists and co-owners of ANDARA Gallery announced today that they are celebrating - both 15 years of operating their arts studios and galleries in Prince Edward County AND the 5th Anniversary of ANDARA Gallery - with several exciting upcoming events.
On May 15th, Encaustic painter Andrew Csafordi opens his latest solo exhibition and sale, “GESTURES.” While some artists paint in silence and solitude, painting with music is a big part of Andrew’s process. His new body of work is an even more brave approach to his impressionist-style landscapes intertwined with abstraction. “GESTURES” reflects a maturity that’s evolved from over 20 years of working in encaustic while still holding on to his explorative nature. Creating a fusion of layers of colourful melted beeswax with mixed media on wood panels, each painting is a harmony of bold gestures, energy, imagination and carefully orchestrated details. “GESTURES” runs thru August 31, 2024. On May 18th & 19th, ANDARA Gallery will be hosting an Open House from 11 AM to 5 PM. Visitors can see their latest exhibition, enjoy some coffee and treats and enter a draw for a chance to win a FREE Art Workshop! |
On June 17th, Tara & Andrew will open ANDARA Studio in a separate, renovated building also located at 54 Wilson Road - offering mini art workshops (choose from Drawing, Sketchbook Graffitti or Encaustic Painting) for those looking for an art experience on short notice. No experience is necessary and all materials supplied. “We know from market research that, more than ever, visitors are looking to enrich their travels with opportunities to create and learn something new,” says Andrew. “Our mini (2-3 hour) AM or PM workshops will still leave them time to do other things, like wine touring or going to the beach. Being able to book an art experience on short notice at ANDARA Studio will serve that niche,” says Andrew. A minimum of 2 and maximum of 6 persons are required per workshop.
ANDARA Gallery and the ANDARA Studio are both located at 54 Wilson Road, Bloomfield. The Gallery is open 11 AM to 5 PM daily, year-round. Workshop reservations can be booked by calling (613) 393-1572. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram at #andaragallery. |
