Joe in Lost & Found

Two artworks of mine are accepted for inclusion in the juried group exhibition Lost & Found in the Charlotte Glencross Gallery, Charlotte Street Arts Centre, 732 Charlotte St, Fredericton, NB.

"The Charlotte Street Arts Centre put out an open call to artists to create work for a juried exhibition, on the theme of 'lost and found'. Over twenty local and regional artists responded, creating original works in a variety of media, and will turn the Charlotte Glencross Gallery walls into a spectacular repository for items collected, claimed, altered or offered up. Works will include found objects, carefully documented items, interactive installations and more.

"The opening reception takes place on Friday, September 16th from 5–8pm and all are welcome to attend. Enjoy live music by Richard Gloade, Esq. during the reception."

Artists: Ruby Allan, Margie Bannister, Joe Blades, Andrea Brewer, Jeanne Cowan, Eugenia Dietrich, Tanya Doody, Katie FitzRandolph, Claire Gallant, Sarah Grass, Carol Hamilton, M.
