BRANDED:
Alternative Stampede Theme Group Exhibition
July 7 - Aug 19, 2011
We have invited artists to interpret the theme
of “Branded” for our summer exhibition of
contemporary art jewellery. Some questions
Influx asked the artists, Have you ‘branded’
your name? Your wedding? Your life? Do you
like to wear brand name clothing or accessories?
How has international corporate branding
affected our culture? Do you or do you know
someone who has literally branded themselves
instead of a tattoo? How does the practice of
branding animals affect your taste for meat?
Please join Influx to see some fabulous
interpretations of 'Branded' by Canadian
Contemporary Jewellery Artists.
OPENING Reception: July 7, 5 - 8 pm
A First Thursday Event
PLEASE CONTACT info@influxgallery.com
if you would like to participate.

S P E C I A L ANNOUNCMENT
It is with great enthusiasm that we would like to
officially announce that INFLUX Jewellery Gallery
is now in the loving hands of new owners Amanda
Clark
and Jeff Kitteringham. They officially took
over
as of
March 1, but if you've visited recently
you may
still
be seeing our familiar faces as we
are supporting
the
transition of the business. We'd
really like to take
this
opportunity to express
our gratitude to all of you -
our friends, colleagues
and patrons - for your patience,
support and trust
in us over the last 6 1/2 years.
We have learned
so much and met so many great
people
along the
way, not to mention all of the
great art
jewellery
we have been privy to! It was
a hard
decision to turn
a new page for all of us,
but new
and exciting creative (ad)ventures are
awaiting us all!
Don't worry though
--- you'll still
be able to
find our work at the gallery.
We are happy
and privileged
to have Influx continue
to represent
us as artists
alongside many other
talented artists
you have
come to know and others
you have yet to meet.
The gallery
will remain
Western Canada's best venue for
handmade,
unique Canadian art jewellery so please don't
be shy.
Come on by and say hi to Amanda
and Jeff
as they aspire
to take Influx to new levels
of success!
Most Sincerely,
Devon, Herb, Kari & Shona
