If you visit the Assiniboia Gallery’s website, you’ll find the catchphrase “Contemporary + Traditional Canadian Art”. For gallery owners Mary and Jeremy Weimer, that’s a wise marketing strategy. When many Reginans are first dipping their toe into the commercial art market, I suspect, their tastes are likely to run to the traditional side of the art spectrum. But as they slide further into the pool of artistic delights that are available out there, their taste almost certainly will broaden to encompass more adventuresome styles of art. By carrying artists who span the range from traditional to more edgy, contemporary work the Assiniboia is perfectly positioned to offer their clients the opportunity to grow as collectors. And that’s what life’s all about, in my mind, growth experiences. So congrats to Mary and Jeremy. /GB
