Georgetown's Helson Gallery is the only place in Canada showing International Visions: Canada, Belgium, France, Greece, Sweden, an exhibition that brings together 10 artists from five countries, the Town says. It opened Wednesday, Nov. 11, and runs to Jan. 10, 2027.
The show mixes abstract, realist, landscape and figurative work by Neville Clarke, Linda Kemp, Peter Marsh, Lin Souliere, Rayne Tunley, Liliane Goossens, Jonas Pettersson, George Politis, Franck Rollier and Donna Acheson Juillet. It is one of the travelling exhibitions the Helson rotates with local art and private collections.
The public is invited to an opening reception on Sunday, Nov. 15, from 1 to 3 p.m., a chance to meet the Canadian artists in the show.
For anyone who wants to pick up a brush, Tunley, one of the Canadian artists, will lead a watercolour workshop on Saturday, Dec. 5. Details and registration are at haltonhills.ca/gallery.
Two more exhibitions fill the building's Sisnett Lobby until Nov. 29. In the Square Foot Show and Sale, local artists each made work within a 12-by-12-inch format, and every piece is for sale at $226, whatever the artist or medium.
The other, Common Ground, shows work by Robert Attrell and Mike Shatilla. Its opening reception is Thursday evening, Nov. 12, from 6 to 8 p.m.
The gallery is inside the Halton Hills Public Library and Cultural Centre at 9 Church St., Georgetown. It is open Wednesday to Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m., and closed Mondays and Tuesdays.
