Port Stanley Villager June 2024

The Association of Port Stanley Artists by Peri Hayes Marcia Pensa has been dedicatedly involved with the Association of Port Stanley Artists (APSA) since its inception, along with most of their members. Marcia introduces APSA‘s objective as: “One of a kind art created by Port Stanley and area artists, on a wall where so many people will be able to see and it’s easy to purchase!” On the upstairs level of the Port Stanley Festival Theatre (PSFT), APSA has curated their exhibitions to coincide with the productions playing there -- including the upcoming Funny Valentine: A Michael Buble Tribute by Jay Davis. This spacious room is filled with natural daylight and overlooks the breathtaking harbour. Marcia, APSA’s President, enthuses, “It’s a good venue and an opportunity to exhibit in a place where there will be eyes on the art. We’re hoping for a really successful season. We want to see the art fly off the walls.” Inspiration is palpable in this creative environment, where visitors are welcome to enjoy the ever-changing displays of beautiful artwork, visible before PSFT performances and during intermission. All of the works displayed are available for purchase through the PSFT main floor Box Office. Marcia has been preparing several more exhibitions to be showcased throughout the season. In addition to PSFT, APSA artists are also featured at Port Stanley Dentistry. As Marcia exclaims, “I think this is important.” She highlights three benefits of securing a unique APSA piece. All sales will support the respective artist, the PSFT, and the appreciated customer who connects with the artwork on a meaningful level. Marcia concludes, “It’s lots of fun!”

Explore PSFT at 302 Bridge Street, with APSA displaying artwork in this location year-round. APSA’s exhibitions are open to the public during PSFT’s Box Office hours, with a percentage of each purchase directed toward PSFT. Connect with Marcia by emailing marciapensa@gmail.com. Alternatively, those seeking further information about APSA are encouraged to contact a representative at portstanleyartists@gmail.com. As well, featured artists will have their business cards presented on the window sill leading to the exhibition. Marcia Pensa of the APSA hanging art at the PSFT
