WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH OUR MEMBERS
CHRISTMAS AT ARTISANS - COMMUNITY ARTS CENTRE, TULISTA PARK
Many of our SPAC members have their work for sale at this event..open until Christmas
THE CRONE PROJECT
Four women on Gabriola Island invite you to a very lively exhiblit. For the past 18 months we have explored all aspects of growing old in a youth- focused world. We have deliberately selected the title “Crone” and its original meaning, “old wise woman”, to highlight our perspective. Working in clay, paint, quilting and paper mache our goal is to present our subjects, some as old as 101 years, in that light.
Oct 20 to Dec 5, 09 at the Professional Centre 590 North Road, Gabriola Island
There will be a formal reception on Nov. 1 from 1 to 4 pm that will include a poetry reading by Gabriola’s Naomi Wakan.
Workshops are provided for our members to enhance their skills or to broaden their horizons and try something new. The instructors we have booked give workshops all over the world and bring many years of experience to share. The feedback from the classes have been extremely positive and I know you would enjoy one yourself.
The workshops are held at the Saanich Fairgrounds where we have a very big, bright classroom. The classes are held to a minimum of 20 participants to ensure everyone has a positive experience.
