A new resident of Grand Calumet Island decided to host her own welcoming party, as she organized a pop-up art show featuring the work of 10 local creators on Saturday.
Held at the town hall, to Jelly Massee and Friends Art Show featured paintings, sculpture, photography and more, plus live music, as the artists met guests to discuss and show their works.
Having just moved the Grand Calumet Island in July – she was previously a resident of Chapeau – Massee said the choice to organize the show was a unique opportunity and the first time she had ever done so.
“I thought it would be a nice way to introduce myself to the island, people and the art community here,” said Massee.
Starting in August, she floated the idea to friends and the planning soon took off. When Saturday rolled around, she had gathered nine artists from across the Pontiac and Ottawa Valley, filling the main floor of the makeshift art gallery.
