CODID-19
avenue art / Cutler Crane Gallery is physically temporarily closed,
but online here is what we are doing.....
To help fulfill an urgent request that came into us from a local senior's residence for activities and supplies, we are creating and suppling our Brush Off ARTboxes! These ARTboxes are to help combat the loneliness that our precious seniors are experiencing due to being quarantined due to COVID-19.
Not being able to see any family or friends is hard for all, but for our seniors who are quarantined to only their rooms, it is exceptionally difficult and can lead to depression.

2018 - January NEWS
Kevin Jenne will be live painting 9 am to 11 during the month of January at our POP UP GALLERY located in Westmount Square.
Drop by and visit, he loves to paint and chat! |
Born in Canada, Kevin Jenne was trained, encouraged and inspired at a young age by a variety of artistic mentors. Jenne’s earliest paintings where reminiscent of stained glass windows, a technique he calls “Intrinsic Illumination” which was followed by themes inspired by architectural motifs along with musicians. He paints in intense colours. Jenne favours deep contrasting hues against a shade of black to add vibrancy to the artwork, the luminescence seems to emanate from within the canvas. This style has continues through out his career.
