Saturday is the last day at City Hall

Artists Cindy Revell, Susan Abma and Shairl Honey had this beautiful, expansive space to work in for the last two weeks. Countless events filled the space with people and excitement during the two-week period.


After an incredible two weeks of painting in Edmonton City Hall, meeting people including soldiers and families and friends of the fallen, we will be packing up at the end of the day tomorrow and heading back to our studio at the Philip Debney Armoury.

While we are happy to be going to our lovely studio in the armoury, this has been an exceptional opportunity to spread the word about these incredible men and women who fought and died serving in Canada's military. We are passionate about the importance of giving Canadians the chance to see into the lives and histories of our fallen heroes, and if we could talk about it all the time, rest assured we would! But at City Hall we have done quite a bit more talking than painting, and at the armoury we will be doing more painting than talking, so we will get back to painting and get more of the soldiers' portraits complete.

Many thanks to the City of Edmonton for hosting us so graciously for the past two weeks. What an opportunity - it has been a wonderful experience.

If you're looking for a Saturday excursion, come down and visit us at City Hall  between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. and take in a great Farmers' Market as well.
