Art and Ice Cream? Current Exhibition at ArtSaturna Gallery

Where else could you mix viewing a selection of  works from local artists and artisans with the pleasure of eating hand-scooped ice-cream? Come see for yourself!

 The current show at the Art Saturna Gallery opened on Father's Day and runs through July 24. It features the interpretive landscape paintings of local artist, Janet Strayer. She invites you to visit her website to see recent works (click here).

As always, each ArtSaturna event  diplays a fine collection of work from local artists, including paintings, prints, fabric art, photography weaving, and woodwork.

Shows are  held in the ArtSaturna gallery at the Saturna Point Store right near the ferry dock --  which means that an added pleasure for all who enter is the terrific ice cream on sale, too!

These shows change regularly, introducing new featured artists and new artworks from ArtSaturna. Come enjoy this one. And we'll keep you posted on the next one coming for July 26.

Enjoy the summer!

Gifts and Mementos of Saturna Island: How about our new 2016 ART Calendar?

ARTSATURNA now offers you a beautiful wall calendar for  2016, with a new artwork on every page. 

Think ahead to gift-giving time and get it now. This full-size calendar makes a special gift and memento of Saturna Island that you and others will enjoy. Its spiral-binding makes it easy to write notes in the day slots and it lies  flat on walls, creating an artful addition to home or office.

You can purchase one of these calendars at the Saturna Point store... and see our artwork "in person" at the gallery located just beside it at the ferry landing.

Inspiration... is on the wall

In 2013 when I was in Amsterdam, I saw this projection in the atrium of the Van Gogh Museum.  My feeling was that the inspiration behind the projection was the energy of Van Gogh's brushstrokes. 

I have been working on some paintings using this projection as my inspiration.

 

This recent one, called "Spring Energia" (acrylic on canvas and 24" square), gained a landscape element.     Karen Muntean

Of Fables and Myths

I'm very pleased to announce an art show that invites you all to come celebrate with me on Saturna. This APRIL 25, 2015 marks the opening of an exhibit of my paintings at the Saturna Café. The collection, entitled Of Fables and Myths, will run from April 25 to July 9. You can view it whenever you stop into the café. The show was curated by Jean-François Renaud, whom I so enjoyed meeting. He has my gratitude for organizing these lovely events at Saturna, making them special celebrations that involve the community. Along with the art-fest reception on April 25 from 4 to 6 pm, you can also take pleasure in  a dinner feast by Hubertus at 6:30 pm (by reservation).

As a part-time resident of Saturna for many years (travelling back and forth from Vancouver), I look forward to this opportunity to have my paintings shown in such a welcoming setting. I hope to share a toast with you at the opening. And I especially hope you enjoy the paintings on display!

Happy Spring, and the Show is Ongoing!

Spring is in the air, and the current exhibition of works by Saturna artists continues until May. If you are down at the Pub for lunch, or waiting for the ferry, why not come into the store and gallery, and have a look?

Springs hours for the store are Mondays and Fridays, 10 am - 2 pm
Saturdays 9:30 am - 5:30 pm and Sundays, 9:30 am - 4:30 pm
