Local artists received some exposure while supporting local health care at a recent event organized by the South Cariboo Health Foundation (SCHF).
The Second Annual Studio 2 Studio Art Tour at 108 Mile Ranch saw more than 50 visitors and more than $1,600 raised on Sept. 13.
The self-guided tour had 10 artists participate at eight locations, where a variety of artwork was on display, and sold, inside artists' homes. Twenty-five per cent of the sales went to the SCHF, which raises money for local health-care facilities.
“It was a beautiful day,” says SCHF public relations co-ordinator Brenda Devine.
“The artists sold quite a bit of their artwork. That was a big plus because a few of them who did it last year didn't sell, and this year they did. They were pretty happy.”
The organization is already thinking about bringing the Art Tour back next year, Devine adds.
“We like to keep making people aware we're out there and the community does support us with these events. It all goes to a good cause; that's the big thing.”
