2010 will see the Escape Artists having their first group show outside the province. From June 25 to August 13, the Escape Artists will have a show at the Muttart Conservatory in Edmonton. The show will be displayed in the newly renovated foyer of the Conservatory. We hope that if you are travelling through Edmonton this summer, that you will stop in and see the show. Once the show is up, we will have photos on our flickr page for you to see.

Above is a shot of the before show chaos.

Thank you to the many people who came by our fall show this past weekend. On our opening night, we had about 100 people stop by to enjoy the art, the music, and the atmosphere. A good time was had by all! Thanks to all who made it happen.

You can see photos from the show by clicking on the flickr link on the lower left side of this page. That will take you to our flickr photo site.

Sunday afternoon was also well attended, in spite of the fact that the Roughriders’ game was on that afternoon. And they won!

Our next artistic venture that is on the calendar will be the show at the Muttart Conservatory in June 2010. We will keep you updated on any other activities as well.

We have finally set our dates for our annual fall show. Our opening reception will be Saturday night, November 20, from 7- 10 pm, followed by Sunday afternoon, November 21, from noon to 4:30 pm.

Check back for more details as we get closer to the date. We are trying something new this year, so hope that you will come out and see us.

Currently, we have a small show of our works at the Off Broadway Theatre, during the run of its final play, Soup du Jour. Sadly, OBT will be closing its doors after this production, so we hope you can take in the show. We were fortunate to be able to participate in this by having our paintings show during this time.

Also, we continue to show our works at Stantec, in the Buckwold Building on 24th St (entrance is on 24th, facing The Ivy) in Saskatoon. It is open during business hours, and the public is welcome to go in and see the small show we have there. We are continually changing the pieces hanging there, so there is often some new pieces to see.

We are planning for a fall art event and will post information when we have more specific details.

The Escape Artists as a group have an ongoing show at Stantec Architecture in Saskatoon, at 75 24th Street East, on the main floor of the Buckwald Building. The public can view the show during office hours, from Monday to Friday. The show will remain on display until early April.

Several of the members of the group also have pieces showing at the current ‘Branching Out’ show at Willow Studio in Saskatoon, at 142 2nd Ave N. This show runs until March 16.

Fall show

We held our fall show for four days this year, as the dates fell on the November 11. We had a great turnout for our opening night, with music by Ben Dobni. It was an enjoyable evening, with good art, food, music and friends. Thanks to all who came and made it fun. Photos will be up on our flickr site, so check them out too.

We will be painting away all winter, and will plan on a show in the spring. So check back from time to time to see dates and any other activities we get up to.

We will be holding our second annual autumn Fine Art Show and Sale at the Art au Jus Gallery. The title of this show is ‘Art Presence‘.

The show will run from Saturday Nov 8 to Tuesday Nov 11. The Art au Jus Gallery is at 539 24th Street East, just off Spadina, the small white house behind the Knox United Church. As this will coincide with the Remembrance Day Long Weekend, we will offer our show for two additional days.

This show, we will donate 10% from all sales to Persephone Theatre in support of our community.

Saturday will be our opening night reception, from 7 – 10 pm, with music by Ben Dobni.

Sunday we will be open from noon to 4 pm.

Monday we will be open from 2 – 8 pm

Tuesday we will be open for our final day from noon to 4 pm.

We hope that you will be able to come and visit with us at our show.

Several of the Escape Artists have paintings in the 4th annual Members’ Show and Sale at the Mendel Art Gallery. The show runs in the downstairs room of the gallery, during regular gallery hours, from May 30 to June 13. Come by and see.
