December 2019 Events

5/12/2019

2019 has been a busy, crazy, wonderful year. Not without its challenges. More about this later in a separate note. And the year is not over yet. There are still a few exciting events I would like to let you know about…

Here’s what’s happening in December:

I’m part of Toronto’s Propeller Art Gallery’s annual “Off the Wall” fundraiser. Over 100 pieces of art have been donated for this event. For the price of a ticket, you get to take a work of art “Off the Wall” and take it home. The preview starts today and the crowning event takes place on Thursday, December 12, 2019. To find out more and to get your ticket(s), please visit the Propeller site at propellerartgallery.ca.

I will also be part of a new group exhibition titled “In the Mood”. The exhibition takes place at Blitz Art Gallery, located at 101 Richmond Street East, in Toronto. In the Mood runs for three weeks, from Tuesday, December 10 to Monday, December 30, 2019. The opening reception will be on Saturday, December 14, from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm. For more details, please visit blogto.com/events/in-the-mood-toronto.

And if that wasn’t enough, I also have work at the Roastery Art Gallery until December 23, 2019. The gallery is located within the Roastery Coffee House, at 401 Richmond Street West. The Roastery is open from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday to Friday.

I also have work at PI Fine Arts located at 1180 Caledonia Road in Toronto. Find out more at pifineart.com/collections/jacques-descoteaux.

Finally, in Montreal you can see some of my work at Le HangArt Saint-Denis. For more information, please visit lehangartsaintdenis.com/artiste/jacques-descoteaux.

I’m looking forward to a great month of December and hopefully run into you at one of these events., and another wonderful year in 2020.

Artist Residency

29/3/2019

Four years ago, in March 2015, I had the privilege to spend time at Cill Rialaig, an art residency program in Co. Kerry, Ireland. It was simply amazing.

And now the journey continues - I’m very excited to have been accepted for another residency, in October 2019.
