Don Pinder Artworks

Maison Depoivre presents a special exhibition of Don Pinder’s artwork at Blizzmax Gallery August 21-22 from 11-5PM (note – the opening hour has changed from 10 to 11). There will be 19 works on display from a variety of media. Don was a longtime supporter of the Arts Council and was a founding member of the PEC Jazz Festival and CLiC Photography Show. Sadly, his life partner Wayne McNulty passed away in January 2021, and Don has moved to Ottawa to be closer to family.

This 2-day event is a fundraiser, with all proceeds from the sale of artwork supporting the launch of the County Arts Lab, a new initiative from the Prince Edward County Arts Council. The Lab will serve as a hub for arts education, artistic expression, and community collaboration in the Picton Armoury.

Beginning in January 2022, the Lab will:

• Offer accessible, arts-focused learning and creation opportunities to local residents of all ages;
• Provide a dedicated space for local artists to teach, meet, and create; and
• Facilitate access to participatory arts activities – and their many proven health and social benefits – for groups of residents at greater risk of experiencing mental health challenges and social isolation. 

We would like to thank Andrew and Victoria Norgaard, Peta Hall, Sue Holland, Janet Davies, Christophe Doussot & Vincent Depoivre of Maison Depoivre, and Alice Mennacher of Blizzmax Gallery for making this fundraiser possible.
