Linda Blakney and her colourific art are leaving the Ottawa Valley and she is putting on one last YART Display, on Saturday September 5th and Sunday 6th. Her works will not likely be available in the Valley again.

Come out enjoy the outdoor and indoor displays and yes ask "if that is really the price" you maybe surprised since we know her partner will want to reduce the amount of packing required.

The showings start at 10 AM both days and last until 5 PM. Bring a friend, enjoy the day in Carleton Place and visit the Linda Blakney art display at 308 Bridge Street (Corner of Bridge and Townline). All forms of payment will be accepted.

By the way if you want a sampling of her works checkout her website at www.lindablakneyart.com.
