Calendar Show Winner

In D'Arcy's words,

Focus Art is pleased to report on the overwhelming response from the public at our most recent exhibit held in the Cornwall Square. The "Public’s Choice" of the 12 best works of Focus Art’s members for our 2010 calendar brought in a total of 2,207 votes and we thank everyone sincerely for participating.

Mrs. Claire Lacroix, from Alexandria, was the winner of an original watercolour painting by Alan Bain. This was the first time we have opened this exhibit and choice of artworks to the public and we have received high praise and great encouragement for doing it.

We must share these accolades with the staff of Cornwall Square, without their support none of this would have been possible. We would like to thank: Chris Savard, General Manager, for authorizing the use of the space; Karen Burns, Marketing Director, for arranging all lease details and operations with personnel; Kim Villeneuve for administrative support and Mall Security for their assistance.
