Planet of the Arts

My son, Ryan, has had the wonderful opportunity of being a part of Artbeat for the past 6 months. Yesterday evening Artbeat held their 7th anniversary opening reception of an art show, this one called Planet of the Arts. Together with other artists, Ryan showed his work created over the past half year (acrylics, sketches and some sculpting pieces).

It was a wonderful evening, so full of hope and beauty.

Artbeat

My son, Ryan, has been with Artbeat Studios as an artist for about 6 months now. His time with this studio is almost up. This term's artists will be hosting a closing art show from January 20 - 28, 2012.

Artbeat has been a tremendous program and opportunity for growth and healing for Ryan and I imagine for the other artists who have been fortunate to be part of it. If you'd like to learn more about Artbeat go here.

If you're in the area, do stop by the show. Opening reception is Friday, January 20 at 7 pm. The address is 4th flr - 62 Albert Street, Winnipeg.
