October 2010 - Andrew Kiss at Altitude

Altitude Art Gallery was proud to host one of the largest collections of original works by Andrew Kiss in one Gallery.

Beginning with a reception for friends, clients and newcomers to Andrew's work, and following up with a day painting in the Gallery for an audience of enthusiastic followers on Saturday, the event was a great success. Such was the demand that Andrew took an encore by returning the following Week-End to paint again.

Many of Andrew's works will remain on display at Altitude, so why not visit and see what the excitement was all about. Don't forget to let us know so that you get advanced notice of up and coming shows, including the next Andrew Kiss exhibition.

Sept 2010 - Murray Phillips and Roger D. Arndt at Altitude

In September Altitude Art hosted and exhibition of new works by Murray Phillips and Roger D. Arndt. Heralded by an Artists reception on September 9th, both Roger and Murray made the trip across the Rockies to meet clients and friends of Altitude. They followed this up by hosting a 3 day workshop at the gallery for 14 aspiring local artists from Okotoks and Calgary.

The week-end started for some of the group with a trip down to our friends at Paintworks, with Murray, to see and talk first hand about the materials available for today's artist. At the same time Roger demonstrated the creative process he goes through in starting a painting. The rest of the week-end was spent with both artists sharing details about their techniques and passing on countless hints amongst the group.

Thanks to all that attended and to Murray and Roger for their time. We are hoping to have them back for another workshop in the spring but in the meantime we have Jonn Einerssen and Vance Theoret, also from the Western Lights Group, coming to town from the 25th to 29th of November.

Altitude opens to great reviews.

After several hitches that delayed the original planned early May opening, Altitude Art & Custom Framing opened its doors with its "Opening Artists Reception" on May 27th. With wine flowing and the band playing, it was time to take a brief rest for everyone involved in getting the gallery ready. And judging from the feedback from those who attended it was all worth while.

Despite the sudden return of Winter many of our artists turned out from far afield including Al Weitzel's dash from Saskatoon, Murray Phillips, plus trailer tent, from BC. and Michael Shopa from the slightly closer and less snowy Edmonton. Wendy Palmer, Andrew Kiss, Paula Henchell, Jason Kamin, Michelle Pilon and Earl Klatzel were amongst the Calgary artists present.

The Artists
