Courvoisier Collective — Gallery Showing at Gallery 1313
A little while ago, I posted about the Courvoisier Collective and their call for artists. Well, after receiving over 150 submissions and going through a curatorial panel, the winners have been chosen. Last night, I was invited to take part in the gallery opening at Gallery 1313, where the winning pieces were being showcased. I hardly ever wander along that area of Queen West, so it was nice to take a trip to that area of the city (and, of course, to enjoy some delicious Courvoisier punch).
There was a nice variety of mediums in the pieces that were selected. Here are a few of my favourites:
Hover This Pool by Justin Broadbent
Optic by Michael Archibald
3000 Years by Saba Askary (my favourite!)
The 15 winning entries are being featured at the gallery until September 4, and I would highly recommend going to check out the pieces. If you are walking around the city, you may also catch one of the three billboard winner’s pieces on display in the PATH system and on the streets.
