While I’m in the bird mood , thought I’d work on another.

Something new from one of our CAPs (Community Art Partners) the Bean Bar on Clarence in Port Colborne. Check out the new Art by Karen Bonisteel, Johanna Hoogervorst, Fran Mawdsley and Chris Summerhayes. Stop in for a coffee and some Art - or better yet stay for breakfast.

Port Colborne Art Club would like to welcome our newest Community Art Partner - Market Cafe - in its new location on the corner of King St. and Main St. Connie has generously loaned us a wall for local Artists from the PCAC to display - and maybe sell - our Art. Drop by for breakfast or a coffee and have a look at come great community Artist's work. https://www.facebook.com/MarketCafe230Main
