EMILY FALENCKI- March 31 Artist’s Talk at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia-Yarmouth
Artist Emily Falencki will give a talk about her thought-provoking work at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia Yarmouth on Friday, March 31, at 6:30 p.m. This is a free public event.
Falencki’s work deals with global conflicts from the Second World War to the Syrian crisis. She hopes her paintings will make people slow down to more deeply consider the graphic images that fly by on the TV and the Internet. She wants to give a voice to the people we see so fleetingly. “There is a history of when you paint something, it becomes important”, she says.
A recent series builds on her Polish grandmother’s wartime letters to her mother, husband, and son. In 1940, her grandmother had escaped from Poland to the United States, leaving her mother in the Warsaw Ghetto, where she was killed in 1943. Falencki has magnified the writing and the envelopes with their stamps as a surface for her figures. “It’s the story of being a refugee or an immigrant and the images tell the same story.” Falencki’s solo exhibit will continue at the Art Gallery until April 29.
The Art Gallery of Nova Scotia Western Branch, Yarmouth, is located at 341 Main Street, Yarmouth. For more information about the free Art Talk, contact the Gallery at 902 749-2248 or Virginia Stoddard, ArtReach coordinator at agnsyarmouth@novascotia.ca

This monthly coaching workshop is for the beginners who have had a little bit of experience in watercolour but lack of confidence and consistancy. Participant will work on a painting from start to finish on this day-long session. I will help each individual on every step of the way from building the skills of drawing, composition, colour mixing, correcting mistakes to applying different techniques on relevant subjects. These small numbered sessions offer lots of quality one on one time providing positive guidances.|
The dates: May 15 (and possibly May 16). If there is enough interest in a two day workshop she would happily extend it into the second day. If you want to attend, please reply and tell her if you prefer a one day or two day workshop. If you would love to to come but can only make it to weekend events, let her know that too. Cost: $75 per person per day. Registration: reply to poppy@poppybalser.com or by phone (902) 247-1910 |

Www.cassandreboucher.com
Galerie Belliveau, in collaboration with CAB will
offer a 26-hour silkscreen course for all levels. No prior knowledge.
Silk-screen printing is a versatile printing technique that uses silk screens to transfer ink to a variety of media. In this course, you will learn the mechanical and photomechanical processes . In addition to practical exercises, each student will realize a personal project during which he / she will acquire a good knowledge of all the stages of silk-screen printing. He / she will create his / her matrices by separating his / her image in layers, carry out the transfer of the films on the silk, the preparation of the colors and finally the impression.
At the end of these 26h of course, you should be autonomous to realize your own silkscreen images with a comprehensive understanding of the process.
The first 5 one-hour courses will be offered at a distance at the gallery, Le Trécarré on Thursdays 4, 11 and 18 May, and on 1 and 8 June at 2 pm.
We will complete the course with three teaching days on site with Cassandre Boucher in the art studio of the Conseil des Arts de la Baie from June 21st to 23rd from 9:30 am to 5:30 pm.
