Visions in Wood 2024
The Arts Centre at Cedar Hill: 3220 Cedar Hill Road, Victoria
The Vancouver Island Woodworkers’ Guild (the Guild) and Friends will be returning to the Arts Centre at Cedar Hill with Visions in Wood 2024 from May 1 to May 26.
Come see a complete show. We have musical instruments, carved and sculpted works, a wide variety of furniture and turned pieces. In addition, we will be displaying the paintings and glass art of several artists, our Friends. And check out the box of wood pieces so you know what a raw piece of Arbutus or Garry Oak is all about.
The work is by local artists and makers with a focus on native and locally grown wood. All pieces are either for display or for sale, with some members offering commissions. For 2024, we have more space than ever with the main gallery, two display cases and a rear gallery.
Our theme for this Visions in Wood is answering some of the mysteries of “how did they do it”. You will see drawings, fixtures and jigs as well as the story of inevitable failures and finally getting it right.

Come Together in Harmony
Join Victoria’s Own South Island Harmony a Cappella Chorus in Joy & Fellowship
Dave Dunnet Community Theatre, Oak Bay High School
2121 Cadboro Bay Rd, Victoria
Come Together in Harmony”, which is South Island Harmony’s first Spring Show in five years, presents through brilliant song a fanciful, tongue-in-cheek version of how Dr. Kinza Tyrrell came to be our new Artistic Director.
- Synopsis:
- A long-running barbershop chorus, somewhat set in their ways, is thrown for a loop by a new director.
- Lydia Plinkett, (read: our own Kinza Tyrell) is a classically trained Music PhD and acclaimed concert pianist who brings her own daring new ideas to her first practice night with the chorus.
- What follows is an inspiring story of the (sometimes bumpy) road to finding true friendship and mutual respect in unexpected places, bonding through trust, cooperation, collaboration and commitment.
“Come together in Harmony” is a positive story of hope and reconciliation applicable to our times where division and confrontation are ubiquitous.
Featured: The mighty Trounce Alley Quartet entertains audiences all over the South Island with a diverse repertoire, singing everything from old Barbershop classics to modern movie theme songs. We also welcome guest quartets Secret Fourmula and Lady & the Tramps, a mixed quartet from Nanaimo.
Tickets: adults $25; students $10; available at www.southislandharmony.com.
