Anthony Hopkins visited Enderby City Hall on Sunday, December 7, 2014. Hopkins, on location for filming the movie Go With Me (produced by Enderby Entertainment), was invited by Enderby City Council for the presentation of gift baskets featuring local products. The gift baskets were for the cast and crew of Go With Me. A painting of Hopkins in front of City Hall by artist Jaime Seward was also formally presented. The painting was purchased by Mayor Greg McCune and is displayed inside City Hall. "It was an exciting day today," reflects Mayor McCune. "I think it's amazing that Rick Dugdale [president of Enderby Entertainment] is doing what he is doing and achieving his dream, and bringing this back to his home town." Los Angeles based Enderby Entertainment is an independent film, television and digital media financing and production company that was founded in 2006 by partners Rick Dugdale and Daniel Petrie, Jr. Enderby Entertainment’s film credits include Go With Me, Rosemont, Dawn Patrol, and About Cherry. "Anthony Hopkins was extremely kind and friendly. It's awesome that he's taken a liking to our area. We are thrilled to have him here along with such a tremendous cast and crew."

Enderby Presents Majestic Metal Art Deer Sculpture

The City of Enderby is pleased to collaborate with local artist Braden Kiefiuk, of Majestic Metal Art, to present one of his most recent works of art, a giant deer sculpture. Braden is an accomplished metal sculptor. He began to experiment with metal art in 2010. The deer is on display immediately north of City Hall and easily visible to highway traffic. You can't miss this spectacular work of art! Braden remarked: "I would like to thank the City of Enderby for their generosity in donating the space for the sculpture and helping to coordinate the project. I'm very hopeful that this art will help to draw people into the community and raise awareness of the great things Enderby has to offer." On his website, he explains further his style and inspiration: [su_quote cite="Braden Kiefiuk"]

Having been raised in the Canadian wilderness, I have developed a deep love and respect for the vast array of wildlife that abounds deep in the forests, high in the alpine, and roaming the open prairies.

In my art, I attempt to capture the beauty, solitude, and harshness of the environment that is the stark reality of their daily survival.

Courtyard Gallery Celebrity Art Auction

Tate Bengtson — Tue, 29 Apr 2014 01:40:05 +0000

When Courtyard Gallery made a request of City Council for funding for upcoming promotional activities, nobody knew what to expect when Council started to get creative! Rather than donate funds, each member of Council (plus one staff member) worked with a celebrity artist in creating seven pieces of art which Courtyard Gallery would then auction. Council and staff had a blast working with their artist mentors, and produced artwork that impressed - and surprised! - everybody. The art auction, on April 25, was an even bigger success. The auction netted Courtyard Gallery a cool $3015, which it will use to market itself and its fantastic art. [gallery ids="1656,1657,1650,1654,1660,1651,1663,1659,1652,1653,1655,1658,1662,1661"]
