COBALT - The Temiskaming Palette and Brush Club has its Spring Fling exhibition now on display at the Mezzanine Gallery at the Classic Theatre in Cobalt.
Show coordinator Brenda Henderson and club workshop coordinator Bonnie Hallay explained the theme of the show is 'anything to do with spring.' Visitors are encouraged to drop by the gallery on the afternoons of Thursday or Friday until June 26 between the hours of 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
The club will also be hosting a reception on Sunday, May 25, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. and are welcoming everyone to join them to view the 44 pieces of art and to choose their favourite in a Visitors' Choice ballot. Visitors are also encouraged to sign the guest book.
The exhibition is also being juried by well-known area artist Linda Mustard of the Englehart Area Artists.
First, second and third place prizes are being awarded, along with two honourable mentions, and the Visitors' Choice.
Flowers, the outdoors, a hike to Devil's Rock, fishing, birdwatching and even a completely different look at the theme of Spring Fling serve as spring-inspired subjects.
There will be cash prizes.
Sponsors include the Rotary Club of Temiskaming Shores and Area, SMC Canada Ltd., the family of the late Nora Visser who was a long-time member of the club, and the late David Brydges who, prior to his passing had provided some money for prizes from the Vivian Hylands memorial fund of the Temiskaming Foundation.
