Blyth Galiery seeks Iocal Bruce Power named one of artists for exhibition Canada's top employers for young people for fourth straight year Blyth Festival Art Gallery Submitted The Blyth Festival Art Gal- lery is looking for art hobby- ists, amateur crafters, profes- sional artisans or recognized visual artists to display their work in the 2015 Community Show. This is a great oppor- tunity for artists from Huron County to get exposure to a local audience or maybe even have a career breakthrough. Area residents are invited to submit one or two pieces in any media for the show. This is an annual, non-juried exhibi- tion and features the creations of dozens of Huron County's professional and hobby artists. The work will be accepted on the morning of Saturday, May 23, and the show opens the same evening in the Bainton Gallery, situated in the Blyth Memorial Hall beside the Fes- tival box office. The exhibition runs until June 19th. Included among the pieces on exhibit will be a wide range of media, from oil paintings and acrylics to photography, ceramics, and glass. Not even the show cura- tor is ever sure what exactly will be shown until the artists bring in their creations on Saturday morning. Artists are asked to bring their works (maximum of 2) to the gallery on Saturday, May 23, between 9 am and 12 noon. Two-dimensional pieces must be framed or mounted suitable for hang- ing and not exceed 36" x 36'. Free standing sculptures must be no wider than 36': A nominal fee of $10 per piece is charged, and the work will be included in the exhibi- tion. Parties interested in buying a work of art will be directed to the artist and no commission will be charged. All art must remain in the gallery for the complete length of the show and must be picked up on June 20. The Community Show 2015 is sponsored by Joan Perrie. The Art Gallery is open during Blyth Festival box office business hours. You can view this exciting show until June 19th.

The purpose of CPF is to promote the French cul- ture. Although this was the topic for the contest, the essays were written in Eng- lish.
