Game Artisans Prepares for Lounge
Category - Gallery News |
| |
Still preparing, still working. We are making plans for bringing in lots of tables, chairs, computers, and more to complete GA's Gallery Lounge concept. Soon, students and art creation enthusiasts, can come in to practice creating art, work on homework, join our sketchgroups, listen to guest speakers, watch tech demos, or sign up for our intensive G.A.M.E.S workshops.
To date, we have had many people come in, both artists and non-artists, and everyone is extremely enthusiastic about the lounge formation of GA. We have heard many stories about how artists came to Montreal, and many more stories about artists’ passionate mission to become professional Game Artists. We hope to share our 3d and Concept art knowledge with the community and help strengthen Montreal's artistic drive to excel in the creation of games.
First and foremost, the general consensus is, GA needs a coffee machine! Although GA's staff does not drink coffee, we will try and dig something up for all you coffee lovers out there. Until then, come say Hi if you are in the neighborhood. We love meeting new and old faces, students and professionals.
Have a great weekend!

For the first time, the new Game Artisans Gallery Lounge opens its doors in the vibrant capital city for game content creation in Canada - Montreal. It was a warm welcome for a studio that has only been seen online for the past 5 years. Artists and game art enthusiasts were happy to witness the beginning of a grand new Gallery Lounge concept that promises to become a perfect middle ground between home, school and work. As the night continued, plenty of questions were answered about what will be coming next...
We have many things planned for GA Montreal, but as with any train, its going to take a bit of time to get things rolling. Now a Gallery comprised of champion artwork created by artists around the world, towards the middle of May 2010, the Gallery will expand into a Gallery Lounge, full of comfy chairs, computers and sofas.
If you have not seen Game Artisans already, here are a few pictures to get you motivated...
