Anonymous Show Gala Opening 2017
100 Braid St Studios
Wednesday, October 25
7:00-10:00pm

By Ticket Only – Register here

For CALL TO ARTISTS CLICK HERE

In celebration of International Artist Day we invite you to the 100 Braid St Anonymous Art Show Gala Opening. This exclusive event will allow you first choice of the amazing and diverse art and media from the artists participating in the show.  Perhaps we should have called it the “not so anonymous” show because we’re going to let you know some of the artists who are participating on our Instagram and Facebook pages (and if you’re a fan of their work they’ll let you know themselves) but it will be up to you to identify their work if you want to purchase it! Call it a huge treasure hunt…..

We will be hanging 1-3 works of art from each artist but who created the pieces will remain a mystery until after the artwork is purchased. Buyers will be able to have their piece wrapped and take it home that night. A sold tag will be put in place revealing the artists name.

All art work is unframed 12″ x 12″.  There will be oil and acrylic paintings but we have also expanded to textile art and mixed media pieces.

Each piece is priced at $150 with $100 going directly to the artists themselves; the remainder will go to Camp Kerry Society to provide art supplies and therapy to bereaved children and families and to cover basic costs of the show.

We will announce all artists and buyers (if you wish) on our Instagram @100braidst_art, Facebook and Twitter accounts.

While the focus of our Gala is on the art we are delighted to have Chef Bain Van Dam and his team at Fork & Knife Catering create a menu of handcrafted hor d’oeuvres exclusively for our event. Each single ticket will also include a glass of locally sourced wine or beer and couples tickets will include one glass for each person.

$150 Single Registration (with $100 patron coupon towards purchase of art of your choice)
$200 Couple registration (with $100 patron coupon towards purchase of art of your choice)

Due to capacity restrictions ticket holders only will be admitted. Purchase tickets here.

Many of you knew Carla Thompson. Carla had a rema Many of you knew Carla Thompson.

Carla had a remarkable gift for helping people feel seen, supported, and capable. Whether she was teaching a new skill, helping someone untangle their finances, offering accountability through body doubling, or quietly working behind the scenes to make things run smoothly, she brought kindness and patience to everything she did.

You may have known Carla through Braid Studios, the Decide Your Life Community with @georgeelow , her Holistic Bookkeeper business, her work with the Dot community or her Books & Brew sessions. 

Carla first came to Braid Studios as a crochet instructor, but over the years she became so much more than a teacher. She served as our Paint Night Manager, Wedding & Events Manager, administrator, bookkeeper, trusted advisor, and dear friend. Even after moving to Vancouver Island during Covid, Carla remained an important part of the Braid community. For me, as owner of Braid, Carla was my right-hand person and one of my closest friends. For many others, she was a mentor, cheerleader, problem solver, and steady source of support.

Her impact reached far beyond any one business or community and the kindness she brought to each of them was always the same.

On June 27, I want to invite friends, family, artists, colleagues, clients, students, and community members to join us as we share stories and memories of this beautiful woman who touched so many lives. ~ Susan

A doll created especially for a woman who embraces Mexican culture as her own. Her home and her memories are filled with afternoons wandering the streets of Oaxaca.

Getting to know her is a true pleasure, and creating a doll inspired by her has been a great honor.

For our June Open Studios, artists throughout Braid Studios are opening up the cupboards, shelves, storage bins, and corners of their practice that the public rarely gets to see.

Not just finished work. Materials. Experiments. Surplus supplies. Works at studio pricing. Things that have been tucked away for years. Some artists will be opening their private studios. Others will be set up in our Studio Salon market style featuring resident and returning alumni artists.

If you’ve ever wondered what really lives inside a working artist’s studio… this is the one to come to.
