Fixtures is an art exhibit that just opened last night at the Portage and District Arts Centre, but it's not entitled after the pieces of artwork. Lee Beaton, marketing and events coordinator, says the three artists who comprise the works are the subject of the exhibit's title, noting they've been fixtures at the PDAC for years, and were some of her mentors.

(L-R) John Nielsen and Xavier NielsenJohn Nielsen's from Portage and shares how the collaboration came around.

"Actually I hadn't thought of it til Annette mentioned it," says Nielsen. "I thought it would be a good show because we're such a diverse group of artists. We each are totally different. So, I think that would interest the public."

Annette HendersonAnnette Henderson's from Rathwell and says the PDAC's always been important in her art practice, noting she learns from other artists.

Sharon GreenPortage's Sharon Green says you'll see a lot of great art. Her pieces tell a story and she hopes you can interpret it and see one for yourself.

Green adds, "It's nice to be able to exhibit in a place like this where people can come and look at it."
