Tony Calzetta – The A Word

NOW HERE at AIH Studios in Welland

AIH Studios in Welland will be featuring a three person exhibition, with the playful title of Now Here (alternately NOWHERE): Michael Bedard, Tony Calzetta and Gabrielle de Montmollin will share new works.

Tony Calzetta and Gabrielle de Montmollin have turned a space in downtown Welland into a combined studio, gallery and living space, and I visited them to see their artwork and their role in shifting the community to one where culture is more prevalent.

Tony Calzetta’s work at the GPAG is massive and stands somewhere between signage and symbol, between painting and postering. I visited the show with Geoff Farnsworth, and our conversations turned into this article.
