Gifts & Giving: Art, Beauty, and the Material World in Spiritual Life

presented by Jaki Daniels,  Author of Heeding the Call
7 – 9 pm, Friday, November 18, 2011

There is an art, and spirit, in the acts of giving and receiving.  There is a time for the gathering of what you need, not just to survive, but to be happy and productive.  And there is a time to set aside the material world and simply experience BE-ing.

Join us for an evening of simple ceremony, teachings, and heartfelt discussion with Spiritual Elder and Minister, Jaki Daniels, as she shares some of her thoughts and wisdom on gifts, giving, and the role of beauty in our lives.

This is a free, after-hours event in the gallery.  No pre-registration required.

You can learn more about Jaki Daniels by visiting her website www.earthandskyhealing.com

Blanca Botero-Fuentes installation in High River, Alberta

We are pleased and excited to announce another collaboration, this time in High River, Alberta. For the next six-months (October 2011 – April 2012) you can view an installation of works by Blanca Botero-Fuentes in the new offices of the brand new Lorac Executive Business Centre .

All of Blanca’s paintings (fifteen of them) are available for purchase and you are invited to view them in person by visiting the office at 19 – 3 Ave SE, High River, Alberta.

Carol Lyall,  of Lorac Executive Business Centre, is expanding her accounting and bookkeeping services to include a full-service office support and furnished offices which can be rented by the month.  There are also comfortable large rooms and board rooms to accomodate meetings or training sessions.  The response to Blanca’s art has  been extremely warm, and it’s gratifying to hear reports about the enthusiastic appreciation that people express coming into the space that is now filled with original art .  Blanca’s work definitely looks fantastic in these new offices!

Eleanor Lowden Pidgeon installation at The English Osteopaths

We are pleased and excited to announce this new collaboration with a Calgary business. For the next six-months (September 2011 – March 2012) you can view an installation of works by Eleanor Lowden Pidgeon in the new offices of The English Osteopaths. All of Eleanor’s paintings (nineteen of them) are available for purchase and you are invited to view them in person by visiting the office at  Suite 103, 1519 34th Ave S.W., Calgary, Alberta.

The English Osteopaths wanted to create a pleasant environment for their clients, as well as providing a healthy point of focus for their Osteopaths in the new treatment rooms.  Now the Osteopaths can focus on an original painting of the natural world in each treatment room, which helps them greatly when offering their treatments to support clients’ health.  The team is enthusiastic about the  experience of enlivening the space with original art – which we believe is a testament to the power of original fine art!  And, Eleanor’s work glows beautifully in their brand new office space!

To see the paintings online you can visit Eleanor Lowden Pidgeon’s page in our online store and note the pieces “located at TEO.”
