Featured Artist Exhibitions
Featured Artist – Lou Conron
Lou Conron is our Featured Artist for May. Lou is an artist who focuses, almost exclusively, on exploring techniques with watercolour. She is inspired by the natural world around her and endeavours to evoke mood and feeling into her paintings as opposed to creating a photographic reproduction.
Her unique style has emerged through the use of negative painting, pouring techniques and the layered glazing of transparent colours. In addition to framed works, Lou Conron paints a variety of original, hand-painted watercolour cards.
You can check out her website at http://www.louconron.com
MEET THE ARTIST May 7 from 10am to 4 pm.
About Us
We are a gallery in Enderby, BC
Who We Are
History
In 2012 a group of local artists came together with the vision of forming an art gallery in Enderby. With some fundraising and a start-up grant of $3000 from the Enderby and District Arts Council the newly formed Enderby Artists’ Initiative opened the doors of the Courtyard Gallery in April of 2013. In 2020 the Courtyard Gallery ceased to operate under the Enderby Artists’ Initiative as a result of a merger with the Enderby and District Arts Council (EDAC) and now operates as a permanent standing committee of EDAC.
Purpose
Goals
This nonprofit, co-operative gallery aims to showcase the work of local artists and reach out to the community with workshops and exhibitions, as well as participate in local arts festivals.
EDAC
February 1, 2020 marked the official merger of the Enderby and District Arts Council with the Enderby Artists Initiative (Courtyard Gallery).
The revitalized Enderby and District Arts Council and Courtyard Gallery continue to bring to the people of Enderby and District the art experiences that they have come to expect.
EDAC has moved it’s office to Courtyard Gallery.
You can find more info about the arts council at enderbyartscouncil.ca .
