St. Thomas Art Guild Show & Sale by Peri Hayes With contagious enthusiasm, Martha Burke describes her position with the St. Thomas Art Guild Show & Sale: “I am currently the Secretary for the St. Thomas Art Guild, as well as one of the Advertising Coordinators for the St. Thomas Art Guild Show & Sale. This is my second year in both roles, and I am happy to be involved again this year with the annual Show & Sale.” “The St. Thomas Art Guild Show & Sale has always been about community: the art community, St. Thomas, Elgin County and surrounding area,” Martha thoughtfully offers. “Our Guild strives to grow, improve and strengthen the community we share through art.” Asked for her view on what the return of this annual celebration represents in this community, Martha confidently responds, “One of the Guild’s mandates is to increase public awareness of the arts in Elgin County. For me, art encourages connections, collaborations and understanding of the city and counties of Southwestern Ontario. I think our annual show celebrates connection, which is key within a vibrant community.”

WALNUT As Martha proceeds to express, “I’m excited this year about our new venue – the Holiday Inn Express in St. Thomas. The space is large, bright, and the folks at Holiday Inn have been accommodating and very supportive. They also believe strongly in building community, which makes for a perfect fit for our show. The Guild has also added new members this past year, and, coupled with returning members, I’m excited to see all the fabulous new art on display.” The St. Thomas Art Guild Show & Sale will be held at the Holiday Inn Express and Suites, located at 275 Highview Drive. This free event — with plenty of parking — will begin on March 21st from 5:00 pm until 9:00 pm, continuing on March 22nd from 10:00 am until 6:00 pm and concluding on March 23rd from 11:00 am until 5:00 pm. Martha graciously concludes, “All are welcome, all ages!” For artist member information, visit the Guild’s website at stthomasartguild.com and kindly direct further inquiries to their startguildwebsite@gmail.com email address.
