EVENTS

Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner returns!

Host and Diners mark your calendars to participate in the 6th Annual Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner. Our most exciting and delicious fundraiser will be happening this year on Saturday, May 12, 2012.

We begin the evening with a reception at The Andrew and Laura McCain Art Gallery, followed by dinner parties hosted by community members who have opened their homes and prepared savory meals. The best cooks in the county host our dinner parties; you want to dine at these tables.

The twist?

Neither host nor guests know with whom they will be dining, as dinner destinations will only be revealed to guests in top-secret envelopes upon departure from the gallery reception that evening! 

If you are interested in hosting or dining contact us so we can reserve your space! 

Tickets are $50 and available at the Andrew and Laura McCain Art Gallery. Email victoria@mccainartgallery.com or call (506)392- 6769.

The date of our upcoming fundraiser, the 6th Annual Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, has been changed to May 12. The date change is due to a Matt Anderson and friends benefit concert for the victims of the Perth-Andover flood being held on our original date, April 28th. We encourage you to get tickets through www.cvarts.ca for a super night of entertainment and to support a worthy cause. If you have bought or reserved tickets for our Guess Who's Coming to Dinner event, check your calendar for the new date, May 12, and contact the gallery at 392-6769 to confirm your seats.

EXHIBITIONS

Mark your calendars as well for an Artists Talk with Donna Smallenberg ~ Thursday, May 10 at 7 pm. Donna will talk about her journey as an artist- the high points and low points. She compares art to life, inspiring others to pursue purpose and to search out their personal identity. Her message is about believing through thick and thin - some of her paintings symbolically speak of this truth. She will discuss certain paintings - how they originated and developed. Donna's exhibit, A Deeper Beauty, will remain on display at the gallery until May 17.

On Friday, May 18, join us from 6 -8 pm for the opening reception of a    Florenceville Elementary Showcase. Student work will be displayed in  this special one-week only exhibition, celebrating the little artists    in our own community.
