Art and Community, Lotus
In 2016, I wanted to create a space where local artists could bloom, network and exhibit. So I Co-founded Lotus Art Gallery with my art sponsor at the time, Lotus Cafe. Since 2019, Lotus Art Gallery has gone online, and the cafe is now solely managed by my sponsor. I still sometimes exhibit with artists online, and my latest project with them in 2022 is to create an artist self-portrait book. I would love many Alberta artists to participate, but only a few artists like to paint or photograph self-portraits, so it will be an exciting book to see and perhaps get published.
I also have art calls set up for artists to be exhibited on my new curatorial sponsors, ARTFARE, a New York-Based Gallery. It is all fascinating to me, and I am curating new exhibits reasonably slowly to make sure I can give them the attention they deserve. If you are an artist and want to exhibit through me, feel free to contact me at Lotus Art Gallery. For more about Lotus art gallery, please visit the link below:
