MARLENE BULAS Art Opening .. Musical Performance with EMILY KING & BRENT ROBITAILLE .. Art Demonstration with MARLENE BULAS at CLAUSTRO Mar 9-11, 2012 · Mar 12, 05:08 pm

What a great weekend full of events for the Art Exhibition of MARLENE BULAS at CLAUSTRO Studios & Gallery last weekend, March 9-11, 2012.

We had a great Art Reception on Friday evening March 9, 6-9pm. Thank you everyone for attending!

Then on Saturday March 10, from 2-3pm, CLAUSTRO welcomed 15 year old, singer/songwriter EMILY KING to the gallery, accompanied by her guitar teacher, the amazing musician, BRENT ROBITAILLE. The event was well attended! With a special appearance by Mayor, Gord McKay and Town Councillor, Pat File, along with SNAP newspaper to take photos of the performance … Thank you all for your support! The performance was tremendous … featuring Emily’s original hit song, “Hit and Miss” (make no mistake, it was no miss). Thank you Emily and Brent!

And to close the Art Exhibition, on Sunday March 11, from 2-3pm, MARLENE BULAS provided an interactive Art Demonstration/class to include 6 participants, where novice students learned how to create 2 paintings in less than an hour. Artist, Marlene’s message to students was that anyone can paint and have fun doing it! And she was certainly right! When the class came to an end, there were 12 beautiful paintings pinned up around the gallery, accomplished by the students … and it WAS a lot of fun! Thank you Marlene!
