Cultivation of Art
June 24 - 26, 2011
It all started innocently enough, just a little art show for something different. That was in 2009; Katrina was worried nobody would show up. But the weather was beautiful and with no budget for anything we relied on word of mouth. And surprise it was bigger than we had planned, and we only had 20 artists. What would it be like with 40 artists? Thus in 2010 with professional invitation printed and advertising taken out, (Katrina still afraid that nobody would show up) it was huge. And so now we head in to 2011.
Vale’s Greenhouse has teamed up once again with over 40 local Alberta Artists. Every artist is looking for a place to display his or her work. We have chosen Artists that reflect the sprit of the Foothills. Southern Alberta area is teaming with people of as many talents as tastes. 
The 2011 show is going to be not only bigger but will show a larger range of art. From wearable fabrics, Oil and water colour paintings to woodcarving, pottery and silver jewellery we will satisfy any tastes. Customers have an opportunity to wander threw our beautiful garden centre and admire wonderful works of art.
Vale’s Greenhouse is please to be involved in such an undertaking and hope that you will enjoy all the art that will be displayed through-out the greenhouse area. Feel free to bring a picnic lunch to enjoy in the garden and make the day of it. An artist reception will be held from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm Saturday 24th 2011. Come meet the artist, have a snack and a glass of wine and admire the beauty of nature and art combined into one.
Hours: 9:00 –5:00 Friday June 24 to Sunday June 26 2011
