The member artists at the Arts at Canal Place Co-op are presenting a unique show during the months of January and February. Working within the constraints of their own mediums, the members are presenting “Famous Favorites”, works of art inspired by and done in the spirit of the artists’ favorite masters. The show runs from January 12 through February 21 with the opening reception on Saturday, January 17 from 6 to 8 p.m.
Would you recognize Picasso in a cubist pot or Van Gogh’s brushwork in a pastel? Come and see how many “Famous Favorites” you can identify. Speak with the artists about how their favorite inspires them and the work they are presenting.
Arts at Canal Place is a program of the Allegany Arts Council and is located in the Shops at Canal Place. Business hours are 10 to 6 daily.

Tis the Seasons - Featured Artist Show - Dec 1st through Jan 3rd
Arts at Canal Place’s current featured artist exhibition showcases the work of watercolorist Linda Cover Holler and fused glass artist Mary Kammauff.
Linda and Mary struggled to make a decision as what their show theme would be. After hashing over countless ideas, of course, they would always come back to the Holiday Season, since their show at Arts at Canal Place is on display December 1 through January 3. However, they did not want the characteristic show geared to just this time of year. After much thought, they came up with the inspiration that it might be fun to include all of the seasons, thus calling the show “Tis The Seasons.”
Mary’s work includes fused dichroic glass jewelry (pendants, earrings, bracelets, holiday pins), stained glass kaleidoscopes, and fused glass plates, candleholders, soap dishes, wind chimes, and wall flower pockets. Linda will be presenting numerous, landscape watercolor paintings dealing with winter, spring, summer and fall. She will be painting more than a few local scenes depicting familiar views from our county and those in close proximity to us.
Linda says, “I love color and doing these paintings let me express myself with lots of bright beautiful colors as well as showing the subtleties in others. I had to dig out thousands of photos and sort them into the four seasons of the year. Then I chose my favorites and also went outdoors with my camera to take more photos of our gorgeous fall weather. The paintings that do not obviously affirm the season with clear examples like fall foliage, snow, spring flowers, etc., show us another venue by which to determine the season. For example, a painting might show the inside of a feed store with the apparent objects to depict spring, like onion sets, packets of seeds, and/or garden tools. It was really fun to go with these different themes. Generally, I had four paintings going at once, one for each season. Because watercolor sometimes has to completely dry before going to the next step, I just went from one season to another without a delay in painting. I absolutely enjoyed not having to put on a winter coat when I was painting snow and then going right to the beach the same day. I hope the folks viewing my show enjoy seeing it as much as I enjoyed painting the different views. If truth be told, it was totally fun!”
The opening for this show will be Saturday, December 6 from 5-7PM. Please come by Arts at Canal Place and celebrate the Seasons with Mary and Linda. You might wear your sunglasses so that the reflections of the brilliant colors in the paintings and the jewels do not shock your senses…or your eyes.

A program of the Allegany Arts Council, Arts at Canal Place is located at 16 Howard Street in The Shops at Canal Place. Free parking is available in the lot off Howard Street.
