Self-guided Artist Studio Tours

In Plain View Winnipeg Self -Guided Artist Studio Tours This year, fifty of Manitoba’s finest artists are exhibiting paintings, sculptures, wall hangings, and mixed media jewellery for sale. Confrontations #11, organized by Jolanta Sokalska, glass artist, is based on the philosophy that buyers of art “recognize the artist and themselves as co-creators benefiting culture, the criteria for evaluating human activity”, and that buyers “are essential to the preservation and creation of art, thereby contributing to art evolution”. ART Confrontations #11 is open to the public and free everyday from 11am-7pm until Saturday, October 30th, when from 4-8pm, there will be an auction of art pieces specifically made for this event. Twelve of the fifty artists in ART Confrontations #11, Aliza Amihude, Kathleen Black, Katharine Bruce, Yolanta Sokalska, Zbigniew Sokalski, Pat Courtnage, Jordan Miller, Monica De Jong, Gloria DeNeve, Allan Geske, Jo’Anne Kelly, and Jordan Van Sewell, are also in the upcoming self-guided Winnipeg artist tour, In Plain View, on November 6th & 7th. In Plain View artists will open up their studios to the public free from 12-5pm during the first weekend in November to show and sell their original artwork. This is the only city-wide event that offers the public an intimate look into how and where artists create their pieces. Brochures with artists’ information and maps are available at Travel Manitoba at the Forks, and at Stoneware Gallery, Wayne Arthur Gallery, Cre8ery, Medea Gallery, and Prairie Stained Glass. The springtime In Plain View Winnipeg tour will be the weekend of June 4th & 5th 2011.
