The Dick and Jane Art Co.

We are back for another year with the London Artist Studio Tour, 2025.

This year’s tour is being held on the weekend of April 25th, 26th and 27th.

This year’s tour will be quite good – we had a record number of applicants last fall, and there are a number of new artists participating with us this year. The visual art scene in London is (like the city itself) really growing each and every year.

Here is the studio tour website: https://londonstudiotour.ca/

Also, we have anew website – it was time for a change! https://corinneandpeter.ca/

This current website will wind down after the tour, but you can still get there (our new site) from here, for a while yet.

Corinne and I have been working on a new look for our marketing and website, and we have decided to go with a new website that is called corinneandpeter.ca. The website is up and running, and we will be working on it over the next few months to make it even better displayed. Currently it has some recent work but we will be making it have all of our “currently available” paintings and prints for sale there soon.

Peter and I are busy cleaning the studio, framing art and painting at the easel getting the last pieces done to show for the Open Studio Art Show and Sale.

Here is a sneak peak at few more pieces that will be hanging in the show! Hope to see you there if you can make it.

November 15th, 7-9:30pm and November 16th, 10-5pm

It’s been a busy summer, full of lots of work and a good bit of fun, but we’re happy to let you know that we’ve been busy painting in the studio….. with lots of new oils to show for our annual open house studio show in November (15th and 16th). Please take a look and enjoy the new paintings!

We’re super excited to see everyone who might be coming out for the 2024 London Artist Studio Tour – we think it will be a really special year with 31 artists participating. Along with some of the more seasoned artists there’s a crop of new faces and media that are represented with this year’s tour. London is a growing city and the Studio Tour continues to grow and evolve with the changing times.

Here are few examples of our work that you’ll see if you come to our studio:

The Studio Tour website is here. The tour runs from Friday April 19th to Sunday April 21st. We hope to see you out on the tour!

We’re a bit late, but better late than never. A new year…. and many new paintings!

We just did a small show to promote the London Artist Studio Tour. It went quite well – lots of interest from the public and many friends out to the opening.

It was a fun week, and the work looked lovely all hung together. Thanks to Sandra DeSalvo at TAP

We hope everyone is having a great fall season! Peter and I have been preparing for a couple of shows coming up this November that we are excited to let you know about.

One is our annual Open Studio Art Show and Sale, November 17th, 6-9:30pm and 18th, 10am-5pm, located at 511 Saint James Street London Ontario. Our home will be filled with our newest art and a few new prints for you to see and enjoy. Along with our talented friend Steve Sawchuk preforming classical guitar, it is such a gift to have him be a part of show. 
The second show is happening at the Framing and Art Centre at 371 Horton St E, the show will be up November 2nd with the Open House Event happening November 16, 5pm-8pm. All new original art will be showcasing here as well in a gem of a space! 

Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions!

Here’s a snapshot of the art we have at Framing and Art…..

We’ve been busy making art and teaching the last number of weeks here – it’s been very active time filled with painting in the studio, and teaching art in the classroom.

Our studio is filling up with artwork for our upcoming Studio Open House on November 17th and 18th. We have been painting lots of exciting new pieces for that show, and we’re excited to show everyone those pieces

As well both of us have been teaching art in the community – Corinne at Westland Gallery and Peter at Fanshawe College. It’s been a time filled with teaching new artists the fundamentals of art making.

We’ve had a busy spring! This April, after our yearly Studio Tour we have been busy working on commissioned paintings and on our own artwork in the studio. The time has really zipped past and we now find ourselves in the summer season! Which means Festival Time…..

We will be exhibiting at the Home County Music and Art Festival (July 14th-16th). We love going to Home County as it has a nice relaxed atmosphere (without the overwhelming crowds of Sunfest) and it has some really nice music selection that is enjoyable for all ages. It’s a time for us to meet many friends and acquaintances that we don’t see too frequently – it’s a great time to catch up and hear what people are up to. We really spend nearly the whole weekend chatting with friends! (Oh, and sell a few paintings too!)

It’s time once again for the London Artist Studio Tour. This year there are 19 individual artists on the tour, so there is a lot to see and experience. Corinne and I hope to see you there!

April 28th (Friday) 7-9:30, 29th (Saturday) 10-5, and April 30th 12-5

Brochures are now available around town at locations like the Public Library, Tourism London and lots of other “arts-friendly” locations. You can also get all the details at londonstudiotour.ca
