On Saturday afternoon I drove down to Okotoks for the opening of the Procession West exhibition at the Okotoks Art Gallery. My collaborator Rob was unable to join me as he got home late from his work shift at a remote northern jobsite and didn't have time to make the drive out from Vernon, where he now lives.
It was a beautiful spring day with the temperature peaking at about +18C in the afternoon. Attendance was pretty good with somewhere around 50 people coming through during the two hours that the official opening was on. There were also some paintings on display by an artist from Calgary in an adjacent smaller space. Our show was featured in the main gallery.
I was impressed by the effort the staff at the gallery put into getting the show together. There were 27 of our prints on display and they did a great job organizing everything. The walls were freshly painted and the lighting was just perfect. I am quite pleased with the way that everything came together. The show will remain on display at the gallery until the end of April. I encourage anyone that is down that way over the next couple of months to stop in and check it out.
