An early start on a rainy blustery day.
On board the 7am ferry bound for Tsawwassen.
Next stop, Coquitlam, to drop off our Works for the next exhibition of Colour: A Personal Response at Place des Arts. Place Des Arts is a lovely heritage building on Brunette Avenue in the historic neighbourhood of Maillardville, Coquitlam.
Place des Arts, Coquitlam, BC
Front entrance
The Atrium space where we were allocated to display our Works.
Time to unpack the car. It was at full capacity with all our Works etc. Ron, Lesley’s husband, engineer and packer extraordinaire managed to get it all in!
Here is Lesley getting some of the last pieces out of the car.
Boxes emptied and volunteers Jimmy and Marziya kindly take the boxes down the elevator to the car.
The plan: put sheets on floor to protect the works. Line works in order of placement along the wall. Stand back and re-evaluate. Staff Bali and Josephine were on hand to help us. Thank you.
Now the very experienced hanging team volunteers Joseph and Challen went round with their trolley and all their equipment to hang the Works. As works were hung the sheets were packed up again.
