January 7 - Lunch at The Globe with Anthony Jenkins



Anthony Jenkins is a new resident of Mono and has quickly become involved in our arts community. His work will soon appear in the windows of Dragonfly. It is through Joan Hope that he has agreed to speak to us at lunch. 

Anthony Jenkins has been an editorial cartoonist, caricaturist, illustrator, and sometime writer at The Globe and Mail for so many decades it is embarrassing; almost four, but who’s counting. He loves the human face and has never tired in finding interest, beauty, character and art in it. He catches a likeness elegantly or on (merited) occasions, cruelly, and always with attention to an interesting, dancing line. He has, at intervals over those decades, also traveled in 83 countries, on all continents save Antarctica, sketching and drawing in the streets, markets, mountains and savannahs, even when he is not being paid.

Dec 3 - DAC Luncheon with David & Sandra Pomeroy: Music & Opera



David Pomeroy, a Newfoundlander by birth, now lives in Orangeville where Sandra, his wife, a wonderful musician in her own right, teaches music to some lucky students. David recently had the title role in Les Comtes d'Hoffman at the Met.

David is performing at the Orangeville Opera House in April 2013 as part of the concert series. And, as luck would have it, David is home in December to sing The Messiah and has graciously agreed to join us at The Globe. Sonia Close is ecstatic! Thanks for insisting!

November 17 - Abstracting the Lanscape with Marianne Broome


Come and learn how to make a different interpretation of a landscape. Accomplished painter Marianne Broome will demonstrate how to simplify and extract the essential information from a reference photo to create an abstracted version of the scene. 
While working with the elements of design and choice of colour palette, the emphasis will be on composition and value relationships. Texture will be incorporated to provide an interesting foundation and different techniques will be explored for layering, glazing and enhancing the texture. Participants in the workshop should have some knowledge of painting with acrylics. 
Cost: OAG members: $50 Non-members: $70. Non-members may join the OAG at the workshop. For further information, please contact Warren Galloway at wgalloway@rogers.com or 519-307-0210 or go to www.orangevilleartgroup.ca.
