Even if you miss the actual Grand Opening of the new Cavan Art Gallery and Academy, you can still check out the newest addition to the local art scene.

After five decades in art, Valerie Kent is fulfilling her dream of launching an art gallery and studio. She’s been an artist for 50 years, has a bachelor of fine arts from Concordia University, a masters of fine arts from University of Iowa, and was an art teacher with the Toronto School Board for 21 years. She retired in 2012.

Kent fell in love with the area when she show cased some of her work in Galerie Q: http://www.galerie-q.com/galerie-artists/valerie-kent

“I’d love to see this part of the world become a real art hub, a real place where people congregate to see art and do art.” The new Cavan Art Gallery and Academy is certainly helping to do just that.

The ground floor houses the actual gallery with local and national art works on display. The studio on the second floor is used for teaching art workshops, courses, painting evenings, summer camps for kids and even corporate team building events.

If you have always wanted to uncover your artistic side, this is your opportunity. Classes are designed for all levels from beginners to experienced artists including a variety of mediums from watercolors to acrylics to oils.

Galerie Q – A Rare Opportunity to View the French Canadian Masters, just East of Bethany!

Posted in Businesses in Bethany, tagged , , , , , , on October 19, 2015| Leave a Comment »

Galerie Q, an art gallery less than one-year-old, has become a destination for both the local community and tourists who find themselves in Cavan. The gallery is a showcase for contemporary and current Canadian masters as well as many talented and emerging artists

Bethany.Ontario.Blog.Galerie.Q.2

The Q stands for Quebec. Most of the artists are French Canadian Masters, many of whom have achieved the designation of RCA (Royal Canadian Academy of Arts.)

Artists have been emerging from the province of Quebec since the arrival of the French settlers from Europe. They provide a distinctive voice in Canada’s artistic landscape. Artists such as Ginet Leblond who paints her memories of small French Canadian towns and the Coureurs de Bois, the voyagers who explored and settled Quebec. And the Bedard brothers, Gilles and Pierre, whose works include the scenery of the urban landscape, colourful florals, owls and old-world scenes.

There are also exhibitions from other Canadian artists, such as the current one featuring Allen Sapp’s work. Allen is a Canadian Cree artist who is widely known throughout the country and internationally. His paintings represent life on the Northern Plains as well as depicting the culture of the Cree people.

A look at Galerie Q’s website will provide a thorough list of the artists and samples of their work. It is easy to see that the description of “serious art for serious collectors and investors” is well stated.

Bethany.Ontario.Blog.Galerie.Q

Art exhibitions will be designed to not only generate curiosity, provide a look back at history, but also provoke public debate of cultural and social issues.

The gallery has recently welcomed Valerie Kent as the Director of Education. Valerie is a professional artist, journalist, educator and art adjudicator. Her work is known internationally – we are very fortunate to have her as part of our local community.

Galerie Q is more than an art gallery. Located in the original first post office for the area, Galerie Q is a partnership between Canadian artists and the public. It is a not for profit social enterprise. Profits generated will be used to fund ongoing activities at the gallery.

Address: 1521 County Road 10, Cavan, L0A 1C0

Phone: 705-944-888

Email: info@galerie-q.com

Hours: The gallery is closed on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and open the rest of the week from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm.

You can go to the website at www.galerie-q.com and sign up for their newsletter.

“I thought the pain would go away!”

Have you ever had some aches and pains and uttered the classic 6 words? “I thought it would go away!”

Well, Dr. Larry, as the local Chiropractor is known, wants to caution us against uttering those words!

Cavan.Chiroprator.3

He knows all too well how a person – young or old – can suffer needlessly when in fact an appointment with him or his staff could make all the difference in the world. Why let a situation get out of hand and actually get worse when effective treatments are available?

The Cavan Chiropractic Clinic – just east of Bethany – offers a well-rounded approach to your care, using procedures such as spinal adjustments, muscle stimulation, electro-acupressure, therapeutic ultrasound, soft-tissue therapy, and exercise rehabilitation.

Cavan Hills Veterinary Services Near Bethany

Posted in Businesses in Bethany, tagged , , , , , , , , on May 6, 2015| Leave a Comment »

Cavan.Hills.Veterinary.Services.3

Your pets will probably be spending more time outdoors with the warmer weather approaching.  Spring is the time to think about some proactive health care for your dog or cat including prevention for flees and heart worm disease. Cavan Hills Veterinary Clinic is here to help make this a healthy spring and summer for your pets.

Cavan Hills Veterinary Clinic is a 24/7 Animal Hospital providing veterinary services to Kawartha Lakes and the surrounding areas – just a short drive from downtown Bethany.

Cavan.Hills.Veterinary.Services.2

Founded in 1995 by Dr. Richard Maser, the lead veterinary doctor and practice owner of the clinic, Cavan Hills employs a team of over 30 highly qualified doctors, registered veterinary technicians and veterinary assistants. The team of professionals is trained to provide the best possible medical attention to their pet patients.

Some of the services available at Cavan Hills Veterinary Clinic include emergency care, preventative medicine, diagnostic and therapeutic services, radiology services, surgical and anaesthesia services, dentistry, laboratory, bathing and individualized flea control programs, permanent identification, pharmacy, dietary counselling, behavioural counselling and boarding.

One of the main features that set Cavan Hills apart from other veterinary clinics is their unique approach to disease treatment. They always stress the importance of preventative care and encourage pet owners to ask questions and express their concerns. This ensures the staff is able to assist their pet owning clients in better understanding the needs of their pets. At Cavan Hills they conveniently have all their medical amenities and services under one roof.

Cavan.Hills.Veterinary.Services.1

Senior pets have many unique challenges: obesity, arthritis, dental disease, cancer, incontinence, cognitive issues, renal disease, heart problems, diabetes, hearing and vision loss – alas, they are some of the same challenges many of us encounter as we age!

Dr. Maser notes, “As dogs are living longer, we are seeing more ailments that we tend to associate with older humans.”  A strong focus on preventive care, an emphasis on dogs as family members, improved nutrition, and spaying and neutering have all contributed to canine longevity.

Cavan Hills hopes Kawartha Lake pet owners will consider them when choosing the best possible care for their pet. They have an informative website (www.cavanhillsvet.com) which provides visitors with a clear sense of their services and offers health care information that will support them in caring for their pets.

If you happen to have a situation that requires emergency veterinary services, you can call local 705-944-5776 or toll free 1-800-501-5967.  You will have the peace of mind knowing Cavan Hills charges no additional fees for emergencies or after hours care. They are there to help!

Call them anytime day or night, 24/7.
