New Paintings | True Passion ~ by Charlie Spratt

I must admit that I am getting excited about participating in the Ten Collective Art Show. Over the years, I have exhibited my work in numerous locations, from galleries to gymnasiums, and for me this show ranks among the best, mainly because the exhibition is limited to 10 specially-selected artists: all with years of experience and diverse styles.

The Mississippi Valley Textile Museum, situated in downtown Almonte, designated a National Historic Site in 1986, is also a National Trust Resilient Historic Places Winner, and Canada’s industrial textile history museum. . It is a warm and charming location, offering generous space for 10 artist galleries on the main floor, perfectly sized for this annual exhibition.

The artists have been working passionately to have a body of new work ready for opening day. All of my work, with one exception, has been created in the last twelve months. This exhibition offers me a wonderful opportunity to present new work to the many visitors passing through and to take their comments and observations with me back to my studio. 

To the visitors I say take time to meet the artists and enjoy their work. You might find something to buy along the way.

Looking forward to seeing you there,
Charlie
