The OGPC and SNAP (The Society of Northern Alberta Printmakers) partnered for an exchange between our two great cities. We are excited to showcase the prints from the printmakers of SNAP and OGPC at the Minto Place Vitrines, starting March 20th running until May 15th. The prints featured centre on the theme of language, whether visual, bodily. or the artist’s personal language. The 13 selected artists from SNAP are: Amanda McKenzie, Megan Stein, Daniel Evans, Emileinne Gervais, James Boychuck-Hunter, Mitchell Chalifoux, Justine Jenkins, Luke Johnson, Max Keen, Cate Kuzil, Joanne Madeley, Phoebe Todd-Parish, and Mark Henderson. The 13 Artists of Ottawa are: Aileen Leo, Charmaine Swain, Katie Argyle, Laurence Finet, Mark Glassford, Deidre Heirlihy, Mary Lowden, Murray Dineen, Roger Sutcliffe, Shirley Yik, Susan Cartwright, Valerie Bridgeman and Villia Jefremovas.

A big thanks the Ottawa School of Art for lending us these showcases. A special Thank you to Cathy Brake of the Ottawa School of Art for hanging the Lyon St. entrance so beautifully. The prints will be seen by a large number of people in these locations, since this is a central building for the federal government. Print artistry is alive and well in Canada. Go see them at Minto Place.
