Parkside Art Gallery (PAG) is looking forward to hosting three shows early in the new year during which all local artists will be invited to contribute their work.
Whether you are an established artist, or a just a hobbyist, PAG wants to see what you have to offer.
First in the lineup of shows is “Water is Life,” which will be a celebration of water and the importance of looking after it at many levels.
It will be a co-
operative show between the Bridge Creek Watershed Society, which will contribute information to support the concept, and local artists, who will supply the visual art.
Parkside is currently looking for submissions of 2D, 3D and multi-media works of art, along with poetry and
other kinds of insight that will be considered, says PAG president Patsy Granberg.
This show will run in March.
In April and May, Parkside will host the Central Interior Regional Arts Council (CIRAC) Arts Fest 2011 regional show.
Granberg says it’s an important show for Central Interior artists and this will be the first time 100 Mile House will be hosting it.
All artwork submitted will participate in a juried show to be featured in the gallery, and from them, 10 will be selected to tour several Cariboo region art galleries for 10 months.
Judges for the
show will be South Cariboo photographer Chris Harris and artist Judith Copeland.
The show will include workshops, a luncheon and a formal opening. Entry forms for the CIRAC show can be downloaded from the Internet at www.cirac.ca or picked up at PAG after Jan. 28.
The third show
will be “Animals at the Farm” and artwork featuring domestic and wild animals in a farm environment will be considered.
For more information about submitting works for any of the shows, contact PAG at 205-395-2021, or drop by the gallery after Jan. 27, from Monday through Saturday.
