News!

New Studio

This blog post will be all about news! First of all as of the 15th of September I will be moving my art practice into a studio in the north end of Halifax (pictures to follow). This studio space comes with a gallery space as well as the company of at least half a dozen other artists. I'm looking forward to getting started in this space!

VANS Mentorship

Secondly, I have been accepted for the Visual Arts Nova Scotia Mentorship program which means I'll be paired up with a well established artist (tba) who will help me out with things such as grant and proposal writing and, for ten months, will provide a helpful critical eye to my painting practice.

May I have your Bees please?

Finally I'd like to draw your attention to a new project that I've just started. I'm collecting dead bees for an installation project in progress. I'm asking people from all over to email me their name and address and I will send you a "bee kit" which includes a self addresses stamped envelope, a small container(for the bee), a brief questionnaire(nothing too personal) and a small gift from me(poem or drawing) for your trouble.Please send your info to ruth@ruthmarsh.net
