Welcome to the Fine Arts Society of Milton
We are a thriving visual arts non-profit organization serving the visual arts in Milton and surrounding area.
FASM is creating another massive installation!
After the wonderful experiences we had with the Hospital Mural Project, FASM is collaborating with the Canadian Federation of University Women on a major work of art. The CFUW is celebrating its 100th Anniversary and our Milton & District Chapter approached FASM to see if they wanted to join forces on a celebration of the women of Milton who have made a difference over the past 100 years. We have found 100 women!
Together we are creating a sculpture installation of five 8’ x 2’x 2’ pillars representing the Arts, Advocacy, Rural, Education and the Professions. Using layers of heavy duty cardboard construction, paint and collage techniques, each woman will have an image and a brief description of her contribution. We will be introducing this installation as part of the FASM Members Exhibition, installing Mid November and running for 6 weeks. After that, we have several locations planned for display.
We have been working together since last January on a concept and after months of research and the completion of Maquettes, we are starting to paint the full size pillars and apply the images.
Drop by the FASM at the Mall Gallery (55 Ontario Street S., Milton) and check it out!
