The 18th annual Exhibition & Sale was held at the Pierrefonds Cultural Center on the 13th, 14th and 15th of November 2009. As usual, it was a busy place, with many visitors looking for that special item to fit into their home or give as a gift.

Please click on our book to see just a few of the beautiful pieces that were at this year's Exhibition & Sale.

This year, approximately thirty members submitted as many as 1500 items ranging in size from small pins to tables and armoires. Large Christmas trees were full of beautiful hand-painted decorations, all one of a kind. There were also hand-painted sleds, shovels, and so much more! 

Other themes included Nature, Country, Children, decorative items that have a Victorian feel, and those that might work well in a room with antiques. We paint on wood, tin, fabric, leather, glass, canvas and paper, so you were bound to find just the right article for you.

This year, there was also an area set up with pictures of our mural project at the Kirkland Library, to show visitors the steps it took to create a decorative mural. To see pics of our library mural project, please click here.

There was also a display of some of the many Treasure Boxes our members paint for children to put their 'treasures' in during their stay at the Montreal Shriners Hospital. This year there were even more Treasure Boxes thanks to the many volunteer painters at the Salon des arts décoratifs that was held in October. (Please click here for more information about our ongoing Treasure Boxes project.)

All participating artists worked at least nine hours during the two-day event, giving the public the opportunity to meet with us.
