Press Release

First Encounter
An Exhibition of Small Works (With Children In Mind)
November 30 – December 23, 2006

Kids Art Party: Saturday, December 9, 2-4 pm


Diane Farris Gallery is delighted to present First Encounter, a group show of artworks chosen and created for young children and the young at heart!

We believe that the initial early childhood encounters with the arts become life-long memories that prompt love for the arts, hobbies, careers, and new ways of seeing, interpreting and questioning the world around us .

Children are our “Guests of Honour” at this exhibition. It has been created with them in mind and will be hung at a lower level for their enjoyment. This fun, salon style show is comprised of a large number of pieces that are certain to lift your spirits and perhaps provide you with a first gift of art for a little one in your life!

On Saturday December 9th, the Diane Farris Gallery will host a Kids Art Party where children are invited to create their own small masterpieces with materials we supply – including the terrific new Chihuly Art Kits. Please drop in between 2 and 4 pm for a delightful afternoon and take home the work of your very own prodigy.

Artists will be on hand to help!!! Cookies & refreshments will be served!

Featuring: Alex Abdilla, Shannon Belkin, Roberta Bondar, David Burns, Gary Cody, Judith Currelly, Michael Dennis, John Dennison, Sara Genn, Angela Grossmann, Amy-Claire Huestis, Kathryn Jacobi, Elzbieta Krawecka, Justin Ogilvie, Natty Saidi, Xue Mo plus special guests and Dale Chihuly’s new “Chihuly Art Kits” for kids!

COME BY AND BE MERRY WITH US!
