Deer Lake Gallery is a busy place this summer.
Hot on the heels of the opening of Jessie McNeil’s Urban Subjects, the gallery has a full schedule of summer fun lined up.
Wrapped in Colour, the next exhibition, is then set to run at the gallery from July 9 to Aug. 6. The exhibition features the work of artists Pepe Hidalgo and Maria Voronova.
To launch that event, the gallery is hosting a Cinq à Sept event on Friday, July 8, from 5 to 7 p.m. Cinq à Sept, French for “Five to Seven,” is a social gathering that takes place after work and before dinner, usually with music, food and drink. This one will be no different, with live jazz music, light snacks and drinks on offer to all who come. Admission is free.
The gallery is also getting ready to host its Deer Lake Summer Art Festival on Saturday, Aug. 13, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The day will include a juried sculpture exhibition, summer theatre performance, artisans’ market, art workshop for kids, a live painting competition dubbed the Park’s Edge Paint Off and more.
On top of it all, Ron Simmer’s popular infinity room installation, A Night Walk in Falling Snow, has been extended for a second time due to popular demand. The installation will be on in the gallery until Sept. 3.
