Where is the Hottest Red Hot Art Spot during the Junction Arts Festival this year?….Latitude 44 Gallery of course!

We will be hosting live performances during the Junction’s weaving mosaic arts festival. Here’s a tentative list: Peter Verity, Courtney Farquhar, Kim Korin, Doin Time, Heather Chappell, Maneli Jamal. Please check the scheduling and artist information for performance groups and artists who will transform the Junction streetscape into a carnival of sounds and sights at the JAF’s Artists web page.

Join us with our ongoing interactive collaborative community project for the festival. This year it is 'Playing With Paint' art/community project with artist Tia Gillespie. We'll offer 3 large canvases for each day (Saturday, September 12 and Sunday, September 13 from 2:00 pm to 7:00 pm). Invite everyone you know to come out and contribute to ART! At the end of the festival we will choose a piece of art from the Playing With Paint art project and frame it!

Don’t forget to come into the gallery to see more than 25 Canadian Artists that we represent including Jordan Hicks, Micheline Montgomery, Paul-Andre Le Blanc, Sherrill Girard, Janice Tayler and our own Junction artists David Crighton, Reid English, Andrew Judd and of course Heather Yelland. As you know the mandate of Latitude 44 Gallery Framing Décor is to showcase, support and preserve the work of Canadian artists and share art with the public.

We would like to give an ongoing commentary about framing. Of course the visual impact is very important. You want whatever it is that you are framing to look fantastic and at the same time suit the space in which it is hung. Yet there is so much more to it then meets the eye and that is why it is so important to have your framing done by professionals.

We want to help you with your framing because we are professionals at Latitude 44 Gallery Framing Decor and we really care. The very idea of framing can be intimidating and overwhelming, so let us consult with you to find the perfect framing solution for your treasured piece of art based on your aesthetic preferences, conservation needs as well as your individual budget.

We are experts at framing all forms of paintings, works on paper, memorabilia, works on fibre, ceramics and sports items. Use your imagination! You might be surprised at what you might like to frame and then…call us at 416 769 2900… email us at latitude44gallery@bellnet.ca or best of all bring your framing projects in to us at 2900 Dundas St. West in the Historic Junction of Toronto and we will work together on framing ideas.

Remember last year's Community built sculpture with Reid English... well this year let's make community paintings with Tia Gillespie!!

For this year's Junction Arts Festival, Latitude 44 framing & art gallery will be' hosting a painting demonstration that is fun and interactive for everyone!

Playing With Paint shows some of the many ways to use acrylic paint. Although there are endless ways to use this medium, we'll mostly be working with washes (watered down paint), applying paint using pallet knives, brushes and even your hands, adding materials to the paint, stenciling, etc. Playing With Paint is a fun way to jump right in to painting and see what happens :)

We'll offer 3 large canvas' for each day (Saturday and Sunday) and invite everyone to come out and contribute to ART!

At the end of the festival we will choose a piece of art from the Playing With Paint art project and frame it!
