"There is no other space in town where one could hope to preview such a diverse sampling of local talent."

Just inside the front door Joe DeAngelis has installed a witty and very apt mixed media with the weighty title of The Palazzo or Squint Your Eyes You Could be in Italy, including explicit instruction on how to complete the illusion using an aged warehouse across the street. Its good fun sets just the right tone for an opening. Artcite is meant to be the sort of gallery where an artist can be comfortable with the work on display, free of the commercial restrictions that might prejudice selection for a private gallery. The freedom shows in John Steel's flamboyant sculpture or in Anne-Marie Beneteau's charmingly eccentric drawings-cum-paintings. There is room for both the high realism of George Keltika and the abstracted roadscapes of Milica Yaksich. Terry Evans' somber, moody pastels are a gentle counterpoint to Margaret Lawrence's very accomplished drawings. The planned, disciplined surfaces of Gene Lotz' sculpture contrast nicely with the rugged elegance of Wayne Tousignant's works in steel, stone and wood. Artcite has made an auspicious beginning and has been received better than anyone dared hope. May the successes continue and the spirit that made them possible flourish. " - James Elliot, Windsor Star Art Critic, May 22, 1982
