The last of the Proposal Art shows in the Headwaters Arts Gallery (HWA) at the Alton Mill Arts Centre opened this week on October 6 and runs until November 7.

The theme for this show is Journeys, Dreams and Fantasies.

Susan Powell, Media Manager for HWA, told the Citizen, “This is the last Proposal Show of the year. Next, in November, Artful Giving is coming up – a pre-Christmas opportunity to shop for gifts but there will be more details about that closer to the time. 

“Proposal,” she said, “means it's a theme of what their show and their works are about.”

“Each year we make an outline for the gallery shows, how many Proposal shows in a year, see what the artists – you know – propose. Generally, a few artists come together and then we see a sculpture, the walls with paintings and the three-dimensional. Sometimes, first time artists show their work in these exhibitions too.”

This week and weekend are a few busy days at the Alton Mills Arts Centre. 

Rock fans will be happy to learn there is also a concert tonight, October 7 in the Tent on the courtyard, with the Trews.

On Saturday, October 9, Headwaters Arts Gallery is hosting the Opening Reception, from 1:00pm to 4:00pm, which is a fun chance to meet the artists. The Gallery is open on Sunday as well.
