ROCK STAR PORTRAITS-DRAWING EXHIBITION-MEGHAN NIITTYNEN -GALA OPENING RECEPTION FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 18 @ 7PM-FEATURING ARTISTS TALKS/MUSIC PERFORMANCES/REFRESHMENTS-SEPTEMBER 18-OCTOBER 24

Definitely Superior wishes to emphasize to the arts community-at-large an awareness of the diverse nature of artists and an appreciation of the contemporary arts in the region of Northwestern ON, and allow access by members and collectives to develop shows and art production as well as a place to exhibit. This month features Meghan Niittynen, one of the premiere drawers in Northwestern Ontario in her first solo exhibition in gallery 3.
Niittynen depicts in her photo-realistic coloured pencil drawings, a record of events culminating towards a completed image/icon portraiture of individuals within the music subcultures of Metal and Rock. An important aspect is the subliminal element of visible tattoos in her portraiture, a mirror of our times capturing the zeitgeist of rock and culture today. Join us for a Gala Opening Reception with Art-Music Performance
