South Osborne Spring Tour

Would you like to do something a little different this Mother's Day weekend?

The dates are set, the artists are confirmed, the weather is guaranteed.
May 11 and 12 are the dates for the South Osborne Arts Group Spring Tour, new and improved with three more artists!




If you're tired of taking mom to lunch at some non-descript restaurant, come have a bite in the New Village, where restaurants of all kinds abound, then treat yourself to an afternoon of art in the homes of ten artists, all within walking distance of one another.



If you want a preview without mom, show up on Saturday afternoon for a walk through, and return on Sunday with mom to show her your favourites. This is an opportunity to see a working artist's studio, chat with them about their work, their inspiration, their aspirations, and if you feel so inclined, to part with a piece that captures your imagination.




Where can you eat in the New Village, you ask?
Oh, let me count the ways/wheres.
Deseo Bistro
Café D'Amour
Luxalune
Bistro 7¼
All About Thai
Monticchio's
Oakwood Café

All of these restaurants, and there are many more, are in the heart of the New Village on Osborne Street, smack dab in the middle of the artists' homes.

Not sure where South Osborne actually is? Think Riverview/Lord Roberts. Think south of the new Rapid Transit's Osborne Station and north of only slightly south of the St.Vital Bridge. Too confusing? See our handy map.



We are potters, painters, glass workers, drawers, sculptors, plein air people, photographers, jewellers, and probably more as well.


We hope to see you out.

that time of year

Well, things just keep moving along and it's 2013. We're two months away from the 2nd South Osborne Open Studio tour, probably happening on Mother's Day weekend, May 11 and 12.
That will be confirmed this weekend.
In other news, exciting things are afoot but that's about two weeks away from announcement time.
And more exciting things afoot, but that's about two and a half months to opening so I'll get back to you on that.
In the meantime, paint, draw, relax, basketball, paint and draw some more.
