Artists on the Avenue

3 weeks ago

We're happy that Marie Sveinson is heading out on a new adventure, but of course a little sad that it includes her moving away! Marie participated in a couple of our Artists on the Avenue events in Markerville over the years, including this year. She held an Open House at her studio just five minutes outside of Markerville that weekend since she was also downsizing painting supplies along with selling her artwork. A 10'x10' tent was not going to cut it!

You can join Marie for a "Farewell Happy Hour" on September 22 between 4-7pm at Fensala Hall, 24 Main Avenue, Markerville, Alberta.

Note: The downsizing is still going on. Marie is currently holding an Online Auction with Beck Auctions in case you are interested (household and some artwork):
