On Friday, March 20th, at 9:00pm EST The Group of Twelve was born with the acceptance of the final member.  This dynamic group of artists from across Canada will set an historic benchmark for Contemporary Realism.

The Group of Twelve is represented by twelve of the finest realist artists in Canada today.  Their mediums are highly diversified ranging from Watercolor, Graphite, Coloured Pencil, Oils, Acrylics, Gouache, Pastels, Charcoal, and Chalk.  Each artist brings their own unique style and subject material and has mastered their medium in their varied presentations of Contemporary Realism.

This group is scheduling their inaugural exhibition in 2010 which is sure to awe the public.  Currently, The Group of Twelve is pursuing Corporate sponsorship branding and they are preparing their strategic marketing packages for gallery exhibitions around the world.
