ABOUT
US
Local Colour Art Group
was formed in 1998 to serve Manitoba artists.
The group consists
of about 90 members, working in a variety of styles and mediums.
Local Colour Art Group
holds annual art shows and sales in spring and fall of each year,
and participates in other art shows throughout the year. The group
also holds a variety of workshops and brings in guest artists for
demonstrations.
Visitors are welcome
to visit our art studio and display gallery at 180 Poplar Avenue (@
Brazier St) in Winnipeg, MB.
Local Colour Art Group is an organization
of artists dedicated to the creation of art, and its promotion in
the community.
Our Mandate
The Club strives
to provide a forum for members in which to gather to paint and to
share their interests, skills and experiences. It is dedicated to
the development of its members through the provision of regular
learning opportunities in the form of classes and discussion groups,
and through the organization of regular art shows.
Members are encouraged
to work in a variety of styles and mediums, and while the primary
focus is on the art of painting, individual artistic expression through
work in photography, porcelain, wood and clay is also welcomed.
The Club's objectives
include community outreach. This entails the promotion of art appreciation
by way of periodic art shows, the extension of participation in instructional
programs to non-members, and the facilitation of other initiatives
that encourage members of the community to participate in art activity.
