50th Anniversary of Art Aurora


On May 4th, SOYRA, The Society of York Region Artists and the Town of Aurora celebrated the 50th Anniversary of Art Aurora.  There were 120 participating artists along with 40 student artists.   The three floors of the Town Hall were filled with hundreds of original works of art including oils, watercolours, acrylics, alternate media and photography.  This juried show brought visitors from across the province, many of whom returned home with a piece of art from this very special show.  As an artist, be ready to enter next year.  Watch my Nancy Newman Art facebook page for information next February or March.

Exciting News...
Start planning now for your painting and photography adventure in southern France.
Professional photograper, Linda Welch and I are hosting a trip for artists in May, 2013.  Space is very limited so now is the time to reserve your spot.  This is a great opportunity for individual feedback and instruction in photography and painting.  Two instructors for the price of one!
I spent two inspiring weeks at Le Monastere this past May and was thrilled to be able to secure "poppy time" for May 2013.  If you are interested, please contact me for more information.

Watermedia Explorations at Haliburton School of the Arts

 Hello Artists!
Please join me for a fun-filled week this summer at Haliburton School of the Arts.  If you are a returning student, you will know that painting for an entire week is an intensive and inspiring experience.  If you are new to Haliburton, you will find this opportunity will be the highlight of your summer.  You will feel energized and filled with new confidence, being among people who all love the arts. Here is a description of the course:

Course Number: ARTS1656
Going beyond the traditional watercolour experience, explore creative ways of using and applying water media, including gouache, fluid acrylics and inks. To add excitement and drama to the painting process, experiment with materials such as rubber cement, pastels, watercolour pencils and crayons on a variety of substrates such as TerraSkin, Aquaboard and Yupo. Experiment with textural effects to achieve contrasts of texture, colour, line and shape. In a supportive and encouraging learning environment, create a series of small paintings that will be the inspiration and reference for future paintings.

 For more information, go to

Registration online begins March 1.
