Nicol (artist). by Tabitha Valliant, NGAG In an effort to brighten up those long winter months, the North Grenville Arts Guild (NGAG) embarked on its inaugural presentation of Froid d’Art - Art in Ice, a unique outdoor winter exhibition that truly embraced the wonders of winter. For two weeks in February, Rotary Park in Kemptville was alight with sparkling ice and art that was embedded in 300 lb blocks of ice. Due to our untraditional winter season this year, the
exhibition became an everevolving show as the heavy blocks melted and changed forms daily all while showcasing the juried work of seven NGAG artists: Aleta Karstad, Tammy Keith, Ardis Lerner, Caroline Marshall, Julie Mercier, J. Nicol, and Tabitha Valliant. NGAG’s Froid’Art - Art in Ice was made possible through the Municipality of North Grenville's Arts and Culture Development Fund and the generous sponsorship of the following local
businesses: B&H Groceries, Salamanders Restaurant, Desjardin Insurance–Vrolyk Insurance and Financial Services Limited, Grahame's Bakery, Jonsson’s Your Independent Grocer, and the Municipality of North Grenville. Each sponsor was presented with the original artwork that they sponsored at a presentation at the North Grenville Public Library on Monday, March 27, as a way for the artists and NGAG to personally thank these community leaders
for their generous gift and support. Additional thanks go out to the Kemptville Minor Football Club, the Kemptville Jags, for their help with installation. Many hands make light work and we would have been lost without the muscle!
