torian house. They started inviting
other artists to join them in life-
drawing sessions while they ran
their gallery and studio out of
anuther floor.

The Sheltons produced a lot of
art during that time and were
well-represented by Toronto gal-
leries. But they were discouraged
by the lack of in-person artist-
viewer contact. Art, says Barry,
was being run by the “middle-

“man art galleries.”

At that point they decided to
mount 2 major show of their work
right in their home.

“That's why we started the
studio exhibits...so it would be a
point of access for the public,”
says Barry. “Artists have always
had a place in the society of man,
but now art is being run by the
galieries. We really feel we're here
to bring it back inte the communi-

Sixteen exhibits and 11 years
later, the Sheltons have proved
their point about public access to
art.

Last year they launched their
first Vancouver home studio ex-
hibit, and it turned out to be a real
success despite a torrential
downpour.

Their next exhibit is Oct. 19 and
20 from noon to 5:30 p.m., and
they’re hoping they'll attract an
even better response.

Anyone interested in the Shelton
home studio exhibit should drop
by 3540 Marine Dr. in West Van-
couver. Parking and entrance is at
3540 South Oxley St.
