22 Why are locally owned businesses so important?
24
A vibrant and healthy local business ecosystem has a huge impact on the overall social and economic well-being of the communities in which they reside. Locally owned, small business have a natural incentive to take community needs and interests into account. They are owned by our neighbors and friends. More of the money spent at local businesses stays within the community and continues to do good many times over.

SHERMAN J. STUDIO
Artist, Judy Sherman, was classically trained in Italy, in the methods of the old masters, Judy’s canvases are painted in the traditional style using contemporary toys. The result is an interesting juxtaposition and narrative composition. The objects and their settings are intended to demonstrate a sense of comic word play and to invoke a spirit of nostalgia.
“With this combination I hope to tell a story, please the eye and elevate the soul”. Judy’s work can be found in collections across Canada, United States, Ireland and Scotland. She is represented by galleries in Canada and the USA.
ONGOING CLASSES The Artist’s Studio and Gallery: Adult Class Schedule Thursday night: 7pm - 9:30pm Friday morning: 10am – 2pm Saturday morning: 10am – 2pm Student Class Schedule Friday afternoon: 4:30pm – 5:30pm Friday evening: 7pm - 8:30pm Aurora Cultural Centre: Thursday afternoon: 1pm – 3:30pm
