Diana Harding-Tucker: 3 Artworks Juried into N3XT
DIANA HARDING-TUCKER, OSA and the N3XT 2020 National Juried Art Competition
OSA artist and photographer Diana Harding-Tucker has three artworks: I am Canadian; Dance of the Reeds; and Approach of Winter, juried into the prestigious exhibition, N3XT, a National Art Competition at the Arts & Letters Club in Toronto.
Approach of Winter: In October, the water on Brome Lake Québec begins to congeal to ice, trapping all the Maple leaves below. But two Red Maple leaves still float atop the water, supported by surface tension, defying gravity, aflame with the fire of Life – a symbol of the strength, resilience, compassion and humility uniting Canadians in the face of adversity during the Covid 19 pandemic.
The N3xt theme poses the questions: What is unity in Canada? Can we be truly unified? How can unity, or the desire for it, be expressed? I look forward to all the interesting creativity that will be displayed at the coming 2020 exhibition!
The N3XT exhibit will be held at the Arts & Letters Club from Thursday, November 19 to Friday, December 18, 2020. The exhibition at the Arts & Letters Club will be accessible by small groups with a prearranged appointment, following Covid19 protocols (info@n3xt.ca). This exhibition will also be held online.

Susan Clark, OSA in N3XT National Art Competition
OSA artist, painter Susan Clark will have a piece, Elevate, accepted in the prestigious N3XT National Art Competition at the Arts & Letters Club in Toronto. The theme this year is Canadian Unity.
Susan writes:
To achieve unity we have to see between the positives and the negatives, the shades of colour, the parting or the clearing.
The sameness of all, the individuals in us and the facades we carry.
We need not to segregate in our own cultures and communities, our safe zones. It’s not just what you take from a country, but what you give.
A love to be a part of and a passion for what we have.
The N3XT exhibit will be held at the Arts & Letters Club from Thursday, November 19 to Friday, December 18, 2020. On Thursday, November 19, N3XT finalists and awards will be publicly announced during a virtual gala and awards presentation originating from the Arts & Letters Club.

Gay Gardens Aird Gallery: Online Exhibition
Curated by: PATRICK DE COSTE
Juried: JOWENNE HERRERA & PATRICK DE COSTE
On view: June 26 to July 17 2020 Enter Here
This exhibition includes the work of OSA members Diana Harding-Tucker, Diana Bennett, Rosalee Lam, Joanna Turlej and Elizabeth Elkin.
Gay Gardens is curated by Patrick DeCoste. The project’s inspiration comes from Carl Linnaeus, a Swedish scientist, who published Systema Naturae in 1735. The book describes his method of naming and classifying plants based on their sexual organs and sexual actions. Society was shocked and embarrassed by the botanical orgies happening in their back yards.
Jurors Jowenne Herrera and Patrick DeCoste, selected works from various mediums and subjects to be a part of our online garden exhibition/publication.
Here is the juror’s comment about Elizabeth Elkin’s striking work:
Elizabeth Elkin’s A Hint of Frangrance is a flower painting. We received many submissions of flower paintings but could not include all of them in Gay Gardens. Elkin’s flower painting is filled with big, bold, transluscent strokes of colour. The image of the flower almost dissolv-ing into abstraction. The balance of angular pale geometries in the background with bright organic petals in the foreground, gives a lusciousness to the painting, looking like lickable licorice and popsicles.
