Date: Sunday, November 1, 2015 – from 11:00am to 5:00pm

Before the Rush: One weekend. One prestigious location. One Fabulous Show.

Being Held at The Ivy Restaurant and Coach House 93 Shipmans Lane, Leeds and the Thousand Islands K0E 1L0

If “a thing of beauty is a joy forever,” as poet John Keats wrote, then the Before the Rush Show encourages patrons to discover beauty in the form of a stunning selection of highly collectible fine art and craft from 20 artists and artisans who complement passion and originality with excellence in design & hand-work.

Before the Rush is a show designed to offer customers the opportunity to acquire artwork and gifts for themselves or others before the crushing Christmas crowds descend upon malls and shops, and before the artists and their works are swept up into the big annual seasonal shows.
