Who Are We?
I am amazed at some in our community when it comes to being part of the community.
NOT!
The Kier Gallery put out an invitation to island artists to participate in a Charlottetown banner project as well the gallery fall art festival.
A twenty dollars registration fee was requested in order that we advertise the event.
E-mail from Community Artist
It doesn't matter who.
Question- is it a CARFAC event?
Answer
NO
We are a community gallery this is a community art show and all artists in the community are welcome.
Question, Who will profit from this twenty dollars?
Ah!
The art's community.
All twenty dollars will go toward the promotion of the event.
What is The Kier Gallery?
This space has been made available for the past eight years
We are a not for profit artist run gallery with terrific supporters,
no government assistance, no CAFFAC assistance, no Canada Council assistance.
We would appreciate help from the mentioned groups but do not receive any at this time.
With a little help from our friends we are build a community, we exclude no one, we include everyone.
If the twenty dollars is a problem for our member The Kier gallery will pay the fee for that member.
As you know Karl we offer the gallery space for free to life drawing,Script readings, literary events, Art openings, artist shows community events and educational classes.We ask only that participants in events help with the advertising for that event.
Hope this clears things up.
