2025 Shows
‘Community Art Class Show’
March 31st – April 25th
This show will feature the works of local residents who participated in the Community Art Class Program during the fall/winter. There will be works in Drawing, Design, Watercolour Painting, Acrylic Painting, Modern Art, and Polymer Clay.
Local arts volunteer Jeannette Wilding organized this program 3 years ago with the help of a Community Arts grant from the Monashee Arts Council. The vision was to create a program that would engage local artists in sharing and teaching their skills to the community, and to promote the advancement of the arts. The program helped to build a sense of community and support during the winter months, and provided an affordable and supportive space for people to develop their creativity.
There will be a final class for all participants to finish up their work on March 26th, 5:30-8pm at the Lumby OAP Hall. Instructors will be there to help students get their work ready for display.
