The Design Room: A Collaboration of Art and Design
June 13 – December 10, 2009

SVAC is excited to announce a new design show opening in Gallery X on June 13, 2009. Two local interior designers will decorate the gallery – Amy Thebault for summer and Lisa Laberge for fall – to celebrate the relationship between the beauty of art and interior design. All paintings by SVAC artists as well as furnishings, fabrics and decorative items provided by the designers, will be for sale during this period. Appointments can be made with the decorators involved or with Jocelyn Grayson, the SVAC Art Sales and Exhibition Co-ordinator, to discuss selections of art or decorations for your home or office.

Jocelyn Grayson, the Arts Center’s Exhibitions and Sales Coordinator, has selected the art while local designer, Lisa Laberge, of Lisa Laberge Interiors, has selected the furnishings, furniture and decorations. All art and design elements in the room will be for sale – prices are available in The Design Room – through December 10. The inspiration behind the design of this particular interior is the original use of Gallery X as the Founders’ Gallery. The table is set for an imagined "Founders’ Luncheon” bringing together a few of the artists and patrons whose talent, dedication and foresight were instrumental in creating this special place ‘on the hill’.
