Have you seen the videotape dress and hat from the Wearable Art Show? Have you seen Jane Dunfield’s latest paintings?
If you haven’t then you really should stop by ArtsPacific Co-op Gallery at Artisan Square while they are still on display until the end of August.
Dunfield will be taking at least a year’s sabbatical to paint for a group show coming in September 2016. Her last show at the main gallery was almost a sell out! We will be looking forward to seeing what she will be coming out with.
The VCR dress and hat, knitted and crocheted by Jani Carroll, were an homage to the work of international artist Evelyn Roth. Some of us were fortunate enough to meet the flamboyant artist while she was visiting Bowen Island. We were delighted to see some of her special pieces that may be featured at another Wearable Art Show in 2016. We hope she will be able to return from Australia for this event at the BIAC gallery.
ArtsPacific Co-op Gallery continues to attract both new and established artists. Two of our newest members are Marie Neys, a landscape painter formerly of Alberta who does lovely representations of Bowen Island, and Julia Courtenay, a long-time resident who makes unusual stained glass mosaic pieces .
We are expecting to add a few new members in September. In the meantime, please stop by to see the wonderful variety of arts/gifts and a great selection of cards from some of the artists. We are open everyday from at least 11-4.
