Do you have a mini masterpiece that’s been longing for the spotlight? The Vernon Public Art Gallery will be home to Vernon’s Free Little Art Gallery (FLAG) for one week – and it’s mini-marvelous!
Imagine a pint-sized paradise for art lovers, where you can swap your small-scale creations for other tiny treasures. It’s like a mini art exchange party!
Bring your mini artwork, whether it’s a doodle, a miniature painting, or a tiny sculpture. No masterpiece is too small! Open the mini gallery door, place your mini marvel inside, and take a peek inside at the incredible mini artistry.
Swap your art for someone else’s, and let the mini art community flourish!
So, what are you waiting for? Join the Vernon Public Art Gallery’s miniature revolution today and let your creativity shine in the most charming way possible. After all, good things come in small packages!
The Allan Brooks Nature Centre BC Culture Days event invites painters and artists to come to the centre and paint “en plain air” (denoting or in the manner of a 19th-century style of painting outdoors), with a chance to win prizes in one of four categories: Experienced, Emerging, Youth and People’s Choice!
This event will engage the local and provincial community and create awareness of the artists working in the North Okanagan, as well as highlight the incredible beauty of this endangered grassland habitat.
This is a FREE event sponsored by the Arts Council of the North Okanagan and The Allan Brooks Nature Centre. Saturday, October 7 from 8-3:30pm. Artists can come register on the day-of, and choose a spot along the trail for the day. At 2pm, the artists will bring their art up to the centre for judging and refreshments.
Come celebrate art and nature with us.
Hello, my name is Mellissa and my art-and-crafts business is called It’s My Bag Studios.
I’m inviting you into my studios to see:
• how I create my art
• the types of supplies I use, and
• watch as I work on one of my many crafts and art:
• a mixed-media collage
• a paper collage
• a sculpture with air-dry clay or liquid polymer clay
• creating a Hallowe’en decor item
• painting with acrylic or watercolours, or
• sewing an upcycled, reusable tote bag
The hands-on component of your visit will include the opportunity to create your own piece of art from the categories I list above. Two visual training posters will be available to help you develop your piece: the 6 principles of good design and a colour wheel.
Behind The Curtain:If you like scary Hallowe’en decor, a section of the studio will feature the ghastly and ghoulish decor pieces that I create and feature at craft shows and markets at this time of the year. There will be a curtain across this display so that no one has to look at these “goodies” unless they choose to walk behind the curtain!
The event features a “pay what you may” bucket, but there is no charge for admission or most supplies.
