TENTH ANNIVERSARY - MILES NADAL JCC

HOWDY!
I am really happy to be a part of the 10th anniversary exhibition of the gallery at The Miles Nadal JCC.

Established in 2005, the Gallery at the J has been home to over 80 exhibits beginning with Faces of Aliyah by Aviva Auerbach and followed by Portraits of Bravery: Canadian Jewish War Vets by Yuri Dojc. Since then painters, photographers, illustrators, mix media and textile artists have exposed our members and guests to a range of themes, stories, cultures and geographical locations. There is always something to think about. Always something to interpret.

In celebration of the Gallery’s 10th anniversary we have invited some of our past artists to once again display their work. These artists represent the variety of mediums and subjects that have been explored over the past ten years.

Featured artists: Aaron Vincent Elkaim, Bernice Eisenstein, David Trautrimas, Esther Simmonds-Macadam, Harry Enchin, Harry Tiefenbach, Irit Epstein, Jason Schwartz, Judy Singer, Mark Loren Freedman, Myriam Nafte, Rafael Goldchain, Rob Croxford, Roman Elinson, Shelly Grimson, Sheree Rasmussen

HONEST EDS and "TOYS AND TIMES" EXHIBITION

Happy Friday!
I am a busy boy!!
First…I wanted to share this new painting:

"Eds", Acrylic on canvas, 30" x 24"

So…let's talk about it!
As you know, soon Honest Eds will be no more. Sad? Undeniably!
But I think we should celebrate the life and times of this institution!!!!!
This painting is my away of remembering it!
The 'poster' part was SUPER HARD to get right….but after a lot of repaints, I think I got it just right!!!
The background is obviously the Bathurst Subway tile.
Also on this painting…….a sign "so special" that is to resemble the GREAT signs that are all over the inside of Honest Eds!
The Turkey is because they used to give out free turkey during Christmas!
And those 'carnival lights' are like the ones in between the alley!!
I really liked this quote. ("The price of anything is amount of life you exchange for it!")
I tried 4 other quotes - but they all sounded a bit preachy…..so I thought this one was the best!
This piece, is now available with "Go West" (from Monday's post) and you can come out to see them at:

That's right! A big show of ORIGINAL WORKS!!!!

This is your chance to see a HUGE array of BOTH my "Sign of The Times" Series paintings and my "Tin Toy" Series!

"Rob Croxford’s latest exhibition has an agenda: to amuse and entertain! His "Tin Toy Series" is enjoyable for all ages, while his ‘Sign of the Times’ paintings explore the sights and the issues from the city he loves!"

Come out see both BRAND SPANKING NEW work and some crowd pleasing favourites!

This show has a NICE LONG RUN….so there is no excuse for not swinging by to check it out! ;-)
