Parkdale Gallery Exhibition: CHUO ROCKS

Sunday March 23^rd to Thursday March 27^th, 2008.

Presented by:  Robert Gordon McHarg III.

Renowned underground artist, curator and gallerist, Robert Gordon McHarg III, is coming to Ottawa from England to present CHUO ROCKS, another edition in the Rock Show series! The little rocks with big personalities first appeared at Japan's Fuji Rock Festival in 2006, then Subway Gallery's Rock Show (2006/07) and most recently during Rock Him at London's Trolley Gallery (2008). Now it’s time for the CHUO ROCKS Show.

You can see McHarg at Parkdale Gallery painting a ton of rocks, literally a ton of!  Once painted, these rockin’ pieces of art will be making an appearance at CHUO’s Funding Drive kick-off party at Zaphod Beeblebrox on Friday, March 28^th.

McHarg is donating the rocks to CHUO-FM89.1 and every listener who pledges over $50.00 to the station during the drive, March 28^th until April 13^th 2008, will receive a signed, one of a kind, piece of art.

CHUO FM89.1 celebrates 17 years on the FM dial. The station provides a wide range of specialty programming to listeners in the National Capital region as well as an open door to the wonders of volunteering.

Parkdale Gallery celebrates the diversity of Canadian artistic visions.  Featured artists and sculptors, established or newly emerging talents, are represented.
