SNAP (the Society of Northern Alberta Print Artists, in Edmonton) and OGPC have undertaken a print exchange. Thirteen print artists in each city have each prepared an edition of 13 prints for exchange with print artists in the sister city. Under the coordination of Murray Dineen in Ottawa and Amanda McKenzie in Edmonton, the prints were collected and sent to the respective cities. They have now arrived, and are being shown or will be shown in the near future.
In Edmonton, the the prints are being shown currently in the gallery windows of the Society for Northern Alberta Print Artists from February 15 to March 19, 2019. And they will be shown at the University of Alberta, in the gallery at Rutherford Library, from August 1-23, 2019. Amanda is working on another venue in Edmonton.
In Ottawa, the prints will be shown from March 20 to May 15, at the Minto Gallery Windows of the Ottawa School of Art (in the Minto Suites/Government of Canada office complex, 187 Lyon St.), in Ottawa. (Murray is still working on another display area, and suggestions would be more than welcome.) For more information, please see the OGPC Newsletter or the OGPC Facebook site. Murray Dineen
