Looking for a little colour to brighten your Spring? Join us for the 63rd annual Saanich Peninsula Arts & Crafts Society (SPAC) Exhibition and Sale, on April 30 and May 1 at the Mary Winspear Centre. Feast your eyes on a variety of vibrant artwork, including paintings, mixed media works, sculptures, pottery, jewellery, fibre arts and fine crafts. Compare your opinions for outstanding work with the pieces chosen for the Jurors’ Choice Awards, and join in on the vote for the public’s favourite piece of art.
Interact with our talented artists and learn about their imaginative processes while watching their on-site demonstrations. Be inspired to release your inner creative juices, and explore the benefits of becoming a member of SPAC by attending the group’s next monthly meeting.
Why not take your interest in art deeper by becoming one of our patrons? SPAC Art Patrons enjoy a private reception on April 29. This sneak peek private viewing of the exhibition offers Patrons the first chance to see and purchase original art, and enjoy hors d’oeuvres and wine, while meeting the artists. The Art Patron fee of $125 includes a $100 credit towards the purchase of art at this reception.
Guest artists Joanna Drummond and Roger Belley will also be on site showcasing their art. Joanna Drummond is a gifted, award-winning multimedia artist. With a passion for sculpting clay in traditional and novel techniques, Joanna continues to experiment and approach art intuitively. Her partner Roger Belley (work shown above), a landscape painter strongly influenced by Group of Seven great Tom Thomson, is keenly interested in Canadian art history. For more information, please visit their website at www.cinnamonhillstudio.ca.
Check out the large selection of artwork, enjoy the on site art-in-progress demos, shop in the gift shop, and speak to the guest artists. The exhibition runs Saturday, April 30 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday, May 1 from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Mary Winspear Centre in Sidney. Admission is $4 (accompanied children free).
