“A IS FOR ART” FUNDRAISER | ROGUE GALLERY SPACE
26 YEARS
26 ARTWORKS
26 TICKETS
Opening: Sat Nov 6, 3-5pm
Closing reception and holiday warming: Sat Dec 11, 4-7pm
For their 26th anniversary fund raiser, 26 past exhibiting artists have created artworks inspired by a letter of the alphabet that will be on display in the Eastern Edge’s Rogue Gallery space, 72 Harbour Drive, from November 6th until December 11th and be reproduced as the pages of an art-themed Eastern Edge alphabet book.
While the book will be available through the gallery on an ongoing basis, only 26 tickets at $226 each will be sold for the original works. During the closing reception on December 11th the ticket numbers will be drawn until all ticket holders have chosen an artwork – a raffle of sorts where every ticket-holder wins! All ticket holders also receive a 40% discount coupon for Newfoundland Art Framing (Ropewalk Lane).

“A to Z” MEMBERS’ EXHIBITION | MAIN GALLERY SPACE
Opening: Sat Nov 6, 3-5pm
Closing reception and holiday warming: Sat Dec 11, 4-7pm
Running concurrently with the “A is for Art” fundraiser is the annual Members’ Exhibition, on display in the main gallery space. This year there will be a special viewing of works created for Out of Purgatory, exhibited at the Confederation Centre, Charlottetown, PEI Sept 4th – Oct 3rd 2010, and featuring completed works by Mary MacDonald, John McDonald, Candace Fulford, Zea Cline, Peggy Tremblett, Michael Young, Michelle Bush, Debbie Collingwood, Anita Singh, Bill Rose, Jackie Alcock and Kendra Miller. The Out of Purgatory works will be up for Silent Auction; bidding ends at 7pm on December 11th.
Out of Purgatory has been staged twice in the past five years by Peake Street Studios, an artist-run collective based in Charlottetown. The artist challenge, originally conceived as a fund raiser, asked members to donate unfinished or abandoned works for completion by others. Through a random draw, individual pieces were passed on for completion and presentation by fellow participants. The latest incarnation of the challenge features a regional exchange of works between artists from Peake Street Studios, Eastern Edge in St. John’s, Newfoundland , and Gallery Connexion in Fredericton, New Brunswick.
