Fri Sep 30  Opportunity: Sharing Space with another Artist: I am interested in renting and sharing a space with another artist. Ideally we would share a small retail space to be used as a studio/gallery where we would also sell our work. I am open to either Gibsons or Sechelt but I live in Sechelt so that would be simpler. I cannot pay more than 1/2 of $850-900 per month at this time. There would have to be 24/7 access (and internet which may have to cost extra). If it was big enough we could potentially hold classes there occasionally. I would prefer that the gallery was not open 7 days a week more like Tuesday-Saturday choice of days is flexible and we could share those 5 days between us for managing the retail/gallery side of things., 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM. 604-885-8193 · calmquist58@gmail.com

Tue Oct 4  Art Exhibition: Janine Dunn: From Grey to Be: to Oct 30.
