Art is a voice. And in Canada – where our unique diversity of language, landscape and passion nurtures the creative spirit like few other places on earth – our artists comprise a chorus. Sometimes elegant, sometimes discordant. Through sculpture and paint, video and design software, cameras and conté crayons, the creative are saying something.

Our work is beautiful.

Our work is unsettling.

It explores darkness. It illuminates.

It tells of history, rooted in our land and experience.

Join in the fun! Exquisite Corpse was a game invented in Paris in 1925. We recreate this game as an art project fundraiser for the MAC - a 'blind' art project featuring 10 canvasses, each divided into three sections; head, torso and feet. 3 different artists will take turns painting one section of a canvas - the challenge is that none of the artists can see what has already been painted! Join us for the UNVEILING - Saturday, Oct 2nd, 2-5pm at Quality Foods Upstairs Lounge, Parksville

The medium is the message in this group show of soft pastels.
