The Polonez Tri-City Polish Association will again highlight the work of Polish artists at a show in Port Moody this month.
The opening reception for the Art Fusion Exhibition takes place March 20 from 2 to 5 p.m. in the city hall galleria (100 Newport Dr.).
Basia Wabik, a graduate of Emily Carr University of Art + Design, will give a free seminar at 4:15 p.m., titled Success, Failure and the Creative Process.
The exhibit is endorsed by the Consulate General of the Republic of Poland and runs March 15 to 23.
SIBLING ACT
A new exhibit by professional artists — and siblings — Marie McGill and Don Portelance opens this week Port Moody.
Aptly titled The Sibling Show, the display starts today (Wednesday) and runs until April 6 at the Gallery Bistro (2411 Clarke St.); the reception is Sunday from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m.
Both McGill and Portelance taught immediate to advanced art students for half a century and have their work in collections around the world.
Portelance, who is also showing at the Fort Gallery 4th Biennale Hardware Show in Fort Langley until March 16, is best known in the Tri-Cities as the retired art teacher at Centennial secondary school. He currently teaches gifted young artists at Place des Arts in Maillardville.
ARTSY ADULTS
A new round of one-day workshops and mini-sessions for adults start next month at Place des Arts in Coquitlam.
The spring session begins the week of April 3 and includes classes in painting, drawing, basketry and weaving.
