Definitely Superior Art Gallery - La Francophonie Gala Opening

Here are some highlights from yet another wonderful art exhibit put on by Definitely Superior Art Gallery.

DefSup RetroGraduate X2 Exhibition

I had the pleasure of capturing the recent RetroGraduate X2 Exhibition at Definitely Superior Art Gallery this past weekend. It was comprised of artworks from the Major Studio Graduates of 2019 and 2020 from a four year period of their program. A wide range of works including paintings, drawings, ceramics, sculptures and multimedia were on display. There were also two different DJ’s spinning unique mixes, fresh food provided by Red Lion Smokehouse and coffee by St. Paul Roastery!

It was such an amazing event, and I was so glad to be a part of it.

Hunger 2018

It’s almost Halloween and that means one of my favourite events of the year is here, Hunger 2018. It took place this past weekend, and as usual, it was such a great time. Admittedly I didn’t get out to cover it as much in previous years because I had a birthday party I was attending, but I still came away with a lot of great shots.

Definitely Superior Art Gallery always puts on such an amazing event. I can only imagine how much work goes into organizing all the venues and performances. All I have to do is show up and take photos of people in costumes. I have it easy.

Each year it seems to be better turnout out then the last too. I’m already looking forward to next years event. Scroll down to check out some of the highlights!

Urban Infill: Art in the Core 11

This past Friday I had the opportunity to photograph this years Urban Infill which is hosted by Definitely Superior Art Gallery. This was the 11th year that it took place, but the first time I attended. I don't know how I have gone this many years without checking out but at least I made out this time around. After attending this years event, I will be definitely be going to next years. 

For those of you who have never attended before, it's a great opportunity to go see all the great local talent in Thunder Bay. So many business in downtown Port Arthur opened their doors and allowed a wide variety of artists and performers show their work. It was amazing to see everything and everyone come together to support the local art scene. I was thoroughly impressed with just how much raw talent there is out there in the city. 

Even though I was photographing the event for Definitely Superior, I was still able to take it all in. My wife Anne kept me company throughout the evening and even she had a good time. As a photographer, my goal was to capture the essence of the event, which included the people and of course some of the art and just the overall mood. 

I am very much looking forward to photographing next years event and seeing everyone come out again to support such a great cause.

The Hunger 11

Halloween has come and gone but over the weekend I had was fortunate enough to capture all the craziness that was The Hunger 11 in downtown Thunder Bay. This was my third year capturing the event for The Walleye, which was hosted by Definitely Superior Art Gallery. I will continue taking photos of The Hunger as long as I'm able to because it's such a great event. For those who don't know about it, it's a night of live performances at various bars in downtown Port Arthur where people dress up for Halloween to show off their costumes and just have a good old time. 

Because I was taking photos for the Walleye, my wife Anne and I had VIP bracelets which allowed us to skip lines and attend each and every venue without having to wait. The freedom to do so throughout the night was priceless because we managed to see so many costumes and fantastic live bands. 

I could go on and on about all the cool people we met throughout the night, but I think that is more then showcased by the photos below. Thanks again to DefSup for hosting the event and The Walleye for the tickets and the opportunity!
