by Marguerite Boyer People who know me are aware that, as an artist myself, I love promoting the arts. Years ago, I started a group called the Six Chicks and we opened a Gallery in downtown Kemptville, out of what was then called Butler’s Pantry. A space provided by former Councillor Terry Butler to showcase the arts. We called it Gallery Six. Around that same time, I began a life drawing studio for artists from the area and beyond. We would meet once a month, usually renting the hall in Burritt’s Rapids. It
was very simple. We hired a model and attracted around 30 artists each month. All these things were quite exciting at the time, but, like everything, we faded away over time. But artists are never kept back for long, creative and imaginative as they are. Last week, I met up with Brenda Barclay-Smith and Lorraine Delangis, two local artists who also want to promote more artists, but in a different way. I knew Lorraine because of her amazing outdoor sculptures, and even took a class from

her last year, I was that impressed. She is an amazing teacher with so much patience. Brenda I had never met before, but after being invited into her studio, I was impressed by her work. And her passion for the arts. I met them to discuss an upcoming art show Brenda is hosting in her home and garden by the South Branch river in Kemptville: an ideal spot for a show. In fact she is inviting the community to join the group of 8 artist for this event. The event will be held September 10, and is open to

the public. It begins at noon and ends at 4 pm. Music is provided by Rob Barclay, a professional saxophonist with over 30 years experience. The show takes place at 100 Joseph Street, Kemptville. I can’t imagine a lovelier spot in North Grenville to showcase such amazing artists. Please join Brenda and her fellow Artists, and show your support for the arts in our community. Rain date Sept. 11
