Janis Tidemanis Art Show


Please stay tuned for more information on our upcoming show of the great Latvian master Janis Tidemanis, planned for next year. If you have any suggestions or comments, please send a message to Karina Mierins at: karina.mierins@rogers.com
We are also planning an art exchange for 2008 - you can bring in some of your paintings and exchange for ones that others bring in. We will set up the mechanism to accommodate this.

LATCAN - "The Business of Art"


Our first arts evening was a great success! We had a good group with contributors to the event - thanks to Anita Liepina, Janis Valdmanis, Solveiga Karklina, Simona Grinberga & Valda Oestreicher. The discussion gave us a deeper appreciation for Latvian art and what it meant to different generations. As an example, knowing more about the painting style of Janis Zuntaks made the painting we were auctioning come alive for some of us. In the end it sold for $700!

We hope to plan another event in the near future but in the meantime if any of you have paintings by Latvian artists that you would like to buy or sell, let us know.
