More Extras at the Artists' Garden

























Susan Brown and Artify present
The Face To Place Exhibition this fall, 2013.
Face to Place, an exhibition: connecting personal history to urban development


Photographic art works by six Toronto-based artists will be featured during this exhibition, illustrating their personal connections to social and architectural history in the city’s urban landscape.   An independent artists’ curated presentation, Face to Place runs from September 21 to October 19, 2013, 
at the Market Gallery, South St Lawrence Market, 
95 Front St. East, 2nd Floor.
Please join us at the
Opening Reception and Silent Auction Fundraiser, September 21st, 2013, from 1 – 3 pm
GALLERY HOURS:
Tuesday - Friday. 10am- 4pm
Saturday,  9am - 4pm
for more information or to RSVP-


Organized by Artify curator, Susan L. Brown, the exhibit will demonstrate the rich variety of artistic perspectives and photographic techniques encompassed by artists Yousuf Afridi, Jason Brown, Alan Dunlop, Horst Herget, Bradley Lipton and Bohdan Vandiak.

The face of Toronto has been changing rapidly since the middle of the last century. Snapshots of areas like the Danforth, Queen West, Forest Hill, the West Donlands or Yonge and Eglinton, including the streets and people inhabiting them, would appear very different now, compared to a century ago. Face to Place photo-artists capture these changes at various stages of the city’s existence through their own unique vision and provide us with multiple approaches to building awareness of our evolving urban and social history.

The exhibit will feature large and small format photographs, ranging in technique from Herget’s historical, intimate tin-type images to Lipton’s more abstract, larger format black and white panels. Over forty photo images will span genres, from portraiture to landscape, and illustrate subjects like urban development and homelessness. The works on exhibit along with an annotated exhibition catalogue will be on sale.

A Personal Pampering Event: 
Sponsored by Mary Kay Cosmetics and AGC · 
We enjoyed learning about skin care and tried a natural makeover for free!
AGC  hosted this fun session for 6 interested women, of varied ages, who like to feel good and value skin health as a key component of their general well-being. We met on Monday, August 20th, 2012 in the Pavilion at the Artists’ Garden and enjoyed the evening. All of us received a wonderful makeover, done by Deborah Brown, Mary Kay Representative. She designed a daytime look for each of us and for our particular skin types. There were Door prizes and more.  ..
