Lemonville Group of Artists goes On-line!

                                          Enjoy lively art at www.lemonvillegroupofartists.com

For our family, the first joyful event that shouts ‘spring has come’ is the annual art show by the Lemonville Group of Artists.

It’s right up there with seeing the crocuses bloom and watching robins feed their fuzzy nestlings. 

For 26 years now, people have streamed into the Lemonville Community Centre the first weekend in May to enjoy the group’s colourful, incredibly varied art and talk with the artists. During the show, the place is wall-to-wall colour. You can see the creativity percolating from each work. The buzz of conversation fills the air and sunlight streams through the large windows.

This would have been the Lemonville Group of Artists’ 27th year. But as we know all too well, COVID-19 has led to almost everything being cancelled. 

So the group decided to put the show on-line at lemonvillegroupofartists.com

 And the works will be there for the whole summer. It’s a great way to lift your spirits.

The site is easy to navigate. You can look up each artist’s creations and can contact the artist if you want to know more about their work or purchase one. 

This isn’t the first time the group has had to meet a major challenge; two years ago the power was out at the Lemonville Community Centre for the whole show weekend and it turned into a ‘bring your own flashlight’ event for the artists. And it was a success.

The Lemonville Group of Artists ordinarily meets weekly with guest instructors or group members leading workshops. The 20-member group enjoys exploring, learning and trying new media and ideas, in effect’ stretching’ themselves, and it shows in their art. Each artist is distinct in what they produce.
