About us—
Gallery Opaque offers emerging and intermediate level artists the opportunity to exhibit their work in a highly professional gallery space. Opaque's mandate is to foster the growth of said artists by providing them with the visibility they need in order to develop and enhance their careers; we also strive to help contribute to the substantial cultural mosaic of the city of Fredericton.
Opaque owners Joshua Slade and Sheila McPhee are both practicing artists; as such, both have an intimate understanding of the psychological and logistical challenges that artists face. Accordingly, Slade & McPhee have worked to minimize the bureaucracy that is normally involved in showing work at a gallery; they have also worked, by developing a strong network of local business contacts, to streamline the process of preparing artwork for display and sale at the gallery level.
A bit more about what makes us unique:
-work purchased from Opaque is delivered directly to the clients' home (optional service / free of charge)
-the gallery has a selection of high-end sample frames on-site
-for those who are uncomfortable with hanging artwork themselves, Opaque's curator can make a trip to your home in order to help facilitate the process (moderate fee)
-we extend to clients the opportunity to take a piece of our artwork home with them for a one week 'dry-run' (free of charge)
