A small group of dedicated volunteers is organizing a Bowen Island art tour on May 25 & 26, 2024 called “Here’s Bowen Arts”.
The website and logo are coming together. Marketing materials and signage are being designed. Sponsorship and fundraising are yielding great results, and artists are starting to register.
You can be part of this exciting weekend!
“Here’s Bowen Arts” is looking for visual artists to join the 2024 Bowen Arts Tour. Register by November 1, 2023 to get early bird pricing and have your art showcased on our website, banners and brochure.
Costs for artists include registration fee, setup, and cleanup. Artists keep 100% of sales revenue.
“Here’s Bowen Arts” provides all infrastructure planning, marketing material, signage direction to studios, galleries and hubs, website with links to registered artists, tour brochure detailing all registered artists, promotion, and advertising both on and off island. In addition events to share information and offer support artist-to-artist are planned.
This tour is to celebrate and promote visual, literary, and performing artists. “Here’s Bowen Arts” will be showcasing painting, prints, photography, sculpture, ceramics, furniture, fibre art, jewellery, printmaking, illustration, books, music, and more. The committee is planning to make this an annual event.
Artists are encouraged to form hubs of two or more artists with differing art forms, to make their hub a more interesting destination. A hub can be one location with several artists participating, or a neighbourhood hub, where it’s easy to walk between locations. In addition, hubs must have parking, be accessible, and have a washroom.
All venues must be open both days, May 25 & 26, from 11 am to 4 pm. Artists who don’t have an accessible space for the public to visit can ask to be matched with a hub.
“Here’s Bowen Arts” is chaired by Marie Neys and Liz Nankin, and other committee members include Jean Bradbury, Julie Vik, Claudia Schaefer, Janet Esseiva, and Nick Jennings.
