Parkside Art Gallery 1st show of the year will Begin on February 1st and will have an opening reception from 10:00am to 3:00pm. The show will be called “Love Cariboo Winter” This is to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the Gallery. This show is going to be completely focused on OUR LOVE OF WINTER. The Gallery is asking the public to create images of WINTER to line the walls of the gallery. Whether you are an artist or not. This is your chance to illustrate, paint, sculpt, photograph, knit, write or otherwise represent winter for the show. Artwork can be done in any style from detailed to abstract as long as you identify the activity that you are illustrating. Here’s how to get involved – send an email to Parkside saying you’d like to take part and what medium you plan to use and your winter activity. Completed art work can be dropped off through the coming weeks in recognition of the delayed reopening of the gallery, due to freeze issues. Artwork does not need to be framed and hanging will be quite casual; push pins will be employed for artwork on paper for instance, so if you value your work, make sure it is protectively frame and ready for hanging. If you wish to sell you art you will require a membership to the gallery ($15) but if you wish not to sell there is no entry fee.
