Welcome Amanda!

We are proud to announce that Amanda Garreau is our new intern at icscis/walkthearts. She will replace Claudia Gutiérrez who unfortunately had to leave.  Amanda will take care of the logistics of our Alumini show on March 5th, 2011.

“My name is Amanda Garreau, I am currently in my fourth year in Visual Arts and Art Administration at the University of Ottawa. As part of both programs I was required to do an internship and was warmly welcomed at icscis/walkthearts. Learning under Prof. Yves Larocque, I have accomplished the following projects: accomplished the last details of an art retrospective in Timmins (Ontario); did the layout of the periodical bravoart.org; helped with the grant application for the future art exhibit  The Nipissing; have put together a research proposal for the upcoming Projet Vasari X project; and now helping out with the brilliant Kangaroos, Beavers et Gorgonzola exhibition. My future goal is to pursue my dreams in the arts; therefore I will carry on my studies in doing a Master degree in Art History at the Université de Montreal.”

Who are we?

We all make art! It is part of culture. It is deeply rooted in human nature as a way of communicating with others. We all need to tell our stories because it is stories that link us all. We are all one, one creative mind! Though, all unique and equipped with unique ways of expressing ourselves. We live in constant search of that unique liberating voice. At Walk the Arts we aim to facilitate our art makers to explore new territories. Our painting classes and art history trips on three continents are meant to be rounded art experiences among small groups of like-minded adults. We offer an environment that fosters creativity. As we always say, art as religion is just a matter of faith. This blog is about living fully the experience of art, about finding our single artistic path, about the joy of art-making. We believe that making art accessible to all will lead to a betterment of our society.

Are We, Artists, Creators of Atmospheres?

Apr 9, 2026

 

Telling one’s life with sincerity, at any age and in any circumstance, contributes to this atmosphere — these are the famous stories to tell, the ones that unite us. How many years have I repeated this in my classes, my workshops! Finding the thread that connects all these stories, that “thin but solid thread that links your experiences together” (YM), requires throughout life a patient and immense work of inner exploration.

“On Painting” by Gilles Deleuze

Feb 16, 2025

 

A blank canvas is a space brimming with possibilities—“a painting to be made,” as Cézanne wrote. It is what Deleuze calls the “catastrophe”—nothing can be seen, yet everything is there as if one were trapped in the eye of a storm. And from this catastrophe, one must find a way out: the very first stroke, a scribble, clichés to be destroyed, “forms that fade away”; erasing, starting over; “the hand, freed from the eye, runs wild,” and then—there! “The color rises,” and so on until the final work emerges.

Let Go! The Artist’s Way of Cooking

Oct 14, 2018

 

Ten years ago, here in Tuscany, we decided to write a recipe book but with so many good cookbooks in the market, we needed to propose a new idea. We had to find a modus operandi close to who we are and what we do as visual artists. The answer was in front of us and painting gave it to us: art and color!
