Fresh Start

On New Year's Day, 6 months earlier than intended, the gallery was relocated to 5511 Cunard Street in Halifax, NS. As artists were informed, some researched the new location and address, and a funny thing happened. Google decided it was pertinent to alert us to the fact that the street address was an 'angel number'. In fact, according to numerologist.com, it means the following:

 

'Seeing the 5511 Angel Number is a sign that you are being guided by divine forces. This angel number is associated with spiritual awakening and enlightenment, as well as inner growth and personal development. It is believed to represent abundance, success, joy, prosperity, and freedom from fear or worry. The spiritual meaning of the '5511' angel number is about making important decisions in your life with confidence and trust. Your angels are encouraging you to take bold steps towards your goals and dreams.'

​

So, as this location was chosen to provide a fresh start and the symbolism of 5511 certainly encourages the idea of starting over and making bold decisions, the following artists created a collage or assemblage that represents a 'Fresh Start' in their own lives, either real or imagined if it hasn't happened yet:

​

Stephen Tomasko, Sasha Sheppard, Jessica Steele, Alex Megit, Matthew McCarthy, Sheila Smyth, Andrea Pottyondy-Stoffer, Susan Wakal, Peter Crouse, Ruth A. Curry, Erin Turcotte, Zanahoy, Jesse Bouffard, Rhonda Barrett, Mary-Margaret Bennett, and Rebecca Clouatre

The show will open May 10th, coinciding with World Collage Day, Open City Halifax and the next Gallery Hop.
