Artists Gathering

✨ What a beautiful evening! ✨
We were welcomed by a beatiful gallery Art Galia in Tecumseh for a special Artist Get-Together—and what an inspiring night it was!

Thank you to our gracious host Alicia Ristic for welcoming us into her gallery, to Toto Café for the delicious treats, and to Blue Jay Restaurant for opening their doors for our group dinner—the food and conversation were both fantastic!

We were a group of 26 creatives—painters, poets, photographers, designers, and makers. Seeing so many talented individuals come together was truly uplifting. Thank you to everyone who joined us:
Julie A. Bell, Carole Turner, Marian Drouillard, Kristy LeBlanc, Olga Klekner, Roland Klekner, Margot Forman, Diane Sullivan, Joanne Carr, Gisele Bick, Steph Mason, Maude Chalifour, Ober-Rae Livingstone, Jenifer Thornton, Adele Steinberg, Anita Pistor, Glen Donaldson, Elle Remington, Elaine Guitar van Loo, Layne van Loo, Dennis K. Smith, Nicole Kraphac, Nora Harvey, Lupita Amaya, and myself, Gulnaz Turdalieva

Each of you brought something special to the evening—thank you for your presence, your energy, and for simply being part of this creative community.

What a lovely Friday gathering! 💬🎨
We met up for a cozy lunch at Kingsville’s Beach House Grill—such a welcoming spot with absolutely delicious food. 🍽️✨

Afterwards, we headed to the 12x12 exhibition at the Carnegie Arts Centre, hosted by the Arts Society of Kingsville. The show is full of diversity and local talent—definitely worth a visit! Plus, their on-site shop features beautiful work by local artists—perfect if you're looking to support creatives in our region.

Thank you to Lupita Amaya, Bobbi Wagner, Ann Ducharme, Annette Cooper, and Anna Buckie for the inspiring conversation and creative company!
