GALLERY REPORT

The summer is upon us, and we are looking forward to masses of people visiting
the Gallery. It has been a slow recovery for ws, and it is going to take some time
before we regain the level of sales in previous years.

We continue to work on presence here on the island. Our new signage has been
installed, and reporta so far indicate that we are more visible. That means more
people will find us. Granville Island management is putting together a craft
catalogue to advertise all galleries, studios and theatres. Available soon, it will help
visitors find their way around and generate more interest on Cartwright Street.

Our fall line-up includes a joint feature with the Weavers and Spinners Guild. A
number of Gallery artists have had their work chosen by the weavers who will be
creating pieces ta coordinate with pots. Graeme Allemeersch will be featured in
Qetober, Our Christmas feature will begin in November. We will be focusing on
the Coffee Service as a concept and I will be in contact with all gallery artists for
their contributions. In conjunction, we are also planning a raffle. Guild members
who are not presently selling in the Gallery but who are interested in participating,
please contact me. Work is to be in to the Gallery by October dlst. For any
additional information, call the Gallery. We'd be happy to discuss this with you.

Have a pood summer,
Coralie
