The Affordable Art Fair movement has broken down the idea that only people with large amounts of discretionary funds can access fine art. And we are so glad it did. Many paintings or photographs etc are less expensive than custom framing can be. Take some time to visit your local galleries and see the work of local artists. At Rational Expressions Gallery we have a wonderful show of local art work on right now. We are also taking this opportunity to raise awareness and funds for My Friend’s House in Collingwood.
The subject matter is varied and the styles are as well. We are thrilled to have submissions from people who have not previously shown at the gallery.

We also have a collection of sketches by John David Anderson. These sketches are an amazing price – from $100 to $150 only. We confess that two of the sketches were on display at the gallery for one day only because we bought them and took them home. Occupational hazard. We have several new additions to the group of sketches. John is going to lead a group of painters on a plein air painting adventure in Tuscany in May. We will have a show of John’s work in October of this year.
