Avon River Arts - Solo Exhibition
Throughout July we're exhibiting a collection of paintings by Avon River Arts member, Paul Edmond, which celebrate the musical talent seen in our province and the natural beauty of Nova Scotia’s sea and landscapes.
All are invited to join us Saturday afternoon for an opportunity to meet and mingle with the artist during the opening reception, taking place in the gallery between 2pm & 4pm. The Lydia and Sally Cafe will be serving haddock chowder & dessert throughout the day, 11am - 4pm, so it's a great excuse to come out and explore the community, including the new boat launch, art installations, hiking trails and the winery. Exhibition continues until July 27th, Wed-Sun 10am-5pm.
Location: Artists' Landing Gallery, Avon River Heritage Center, 17 Belmont Road, Avondale (AKA Newport Landing), West Hants, NS.

Paul Edmond
Paul Edmond is an emerging artist focused on painting acrylic on canvas. He resides in Dartmouth Nova Scotia during summers and spends winters in Largo Florida.
Paul has exhibited across Nova Scotia during the last 5 years. Some of the galleries include Gallery 97, Oceanside Artland, Tripps Gallery, Avon River Heritage Museum, The Craig Gallery, Inverness County Centre for the Arts, The Grace Arts Centre and Artworks East in addition to other locations. His art buyers now exist across Canada and in the southern USA. He is scheduled to be the featured solo artist at The J.

Paul has also donated art to the Cancer Society, Canadian Progress Club, Dartmouth Aquatic and Hockey teams, Golf for the Heart Foundation, etc.
Paul was featured in an article by Saltwire in April 2022 and also was interviewed on Gallery 902 (Eastlink TvSeries) which broadcast August 2024. Examples of his recent talent include 4 “Special Recognition “ awards with “Light Space Time” international online competitions and was also a finalist 4 times with “Fusion” international online competitions. In May 2024 his painting “ Dangerous Enchantment” was top 20 in an international juried competition featuring 520 artists from 29 countries.
Growing up near the Atlantic Ocean, Paul’s love of water and nature can be seen as he takes a peek at Atlantic Canada’s quietest corners and uses his decisive brushwork with vibrant and bold colours to bring life into those moments on canvas.
