Gallery Manager’s Report
A Sad Farewell

I have had a thrilling, challenging
and rewarding term as interim
gallery manger this year during the
Gallery’s 20th & the Guild’s 50th

Anniversary celebrations.

I have been fortunate to work
alongside fabulous gallery assis-
tants: Sarah Belley, Katharine
Ducker, Roxanne Gagnon and
Samantha MacDonald. We have
collaborated on gallery aesthetics
and streamlined information for
our valued customers, artists and
guild members. The gallery has a
new look in the actual physical
space, in print advertising as well
as online at the Guild website.

Lucky us, we also have a hard
working and dedicated gallery
committee: Shelia Morissette,
Maggie Kneer, Celia Rice-Jones,
Pia Sillem and Jinny Whitehead.
They are always on hand to share
in their multitude of talents and
volunteer with gallery projects such
as digital imaging, painting, cater-
ing and installations.

I am very excited and proud of the

Gallery’s upcoming 2006
Exhibitions. We will be showcasing
a Gallery Invitational, two Guild
touring Exhibitions (“B.C. in a
Box” and “In a Palm of a Hand:
B.C. to Japan”), very well known
and established artists (Geoff Searle
and Gordon Hutchens), two
group-themed exhibitions (func-
tional musical instruments & wear-
able art) as well as installation
works and creative solo exhibits.

A special thank you to the wonder-
ful artists and guild members who
make the gallery a lovely and envi-
able working environment. I can-
not write about my time at the
gallery without mentioning my
gratitude for the support and
encouragement always extended to
me from Jinny Whitehead during
this very busy anniversary year of
Guild and Gallery programs and
transitions.

I will truly miss being a part of the
daily life of the Gallery.

Sincerely,

Brenda Beaudoin
