Just Do It! “Expanded” Program at GAS

Experimental Painting Program 

Offered at Gerrard Art Space (GAS)

COVID -19 update: All in-person classes are currently paused. I invite you to check out my new COVID era on-line classes.

Being an artist is complicated. First you need to paint, to learn and practice, and continually come up with new ideas for your paintings. And once you have found your groove and created some work, you need to find ways to share what you are doing, put it out into the world, maybe even sell it!!

The expanded “Just Do It!” program at GAS is designed to guide you along this path. By signing up and coming to class you will have an opportunity to work with a group of artists on a continual basis as you learn, create, share and show your work. All in one simple but complete program.

I am very excited to be working with GAS to offer this expanded program. Sign up and come to class, and while you focus on your artwork, develop your skills and practice, practice, practice, the gallery and their experienced staff will work with us to create opportunities to share and show your work through the gallery and their website.

The "Expanded" Program consists of the following:
  • “Just Do It!” experimental painting classes: Offered weekly at GAS – classes run from September to May; start when it fits your schedule.
  • A gallery show for class participants: This show has all the bells and whistles, an opening celebration, on-line marketing, social media presence, advertising in Slate etc.  Journeys, our first show, was held in spring 2018, and For the Love of Colour was held June 2019.  Our next show will be in October 2020. The show will run for 3 weeks, professionally curated and hung by gallery staff.
  • Monthly Off-Site event: An opportunity to explore local art galleries and events alongside other artists. A wonderful learning and social activity.
  • Your presence on the GAS website: You will have the opportunity to share your artwork with the gallery and the public via the GAS website.
