Weekly Heads Up on the Arts Scene - 9

Personally I am still absorbing all the art I took in last weekend, but if you missed it, or still want more, there are a few great events happening this weekend on the vancity arts scene.

1- "Scapes Art Exhibition" is happening at the Autumn Book Gallery (1545 West 4th Ave.)and will showcase new works by Chrystale Thompson (fashion art), Maureen Cameron (fine art photography), A. Travis Cory (mixed media pieces), and Chris Hunter (landscape and floral paintings). The show will be a 3 day affair on Sunday Nov. 27 from 12-5 PM, and on Tuesday, Nov. 29th and Wednesday, Nov. 30th from 10:30-6 PN. That should keep you on your toes! Maybe it is a ruse to make sure you write it in your organizer....RSVP to organizer Jessica Thompson at jessica@ecstaticdesigns.com.

2- Julie Morstad has an opening at the Atelier Gallery called "Lies My Cousin Told Me". Her bizarre, whimsical drawings engage you in a curiosity to discover their narrative. The opening reception is
