Art tour a creative way to raise funds

Studio 2 Studio 3 event to benefit the South Cariboo Health Foundation

The much anticipated Studio 2 Studio 3 self-guided art tour fundraiser is Sept. 12.

The third annual event benefitting the South Cariboo Health Foundation (SCHF) will see a dozen artists at seven locations open to the public around 108 Mile Ranch.

Artists will have a variety of artwork on exhibition, including paintings, quilts, pottery and jewelry.

The event is seen as a creative way to raise money for local health care.

Art tour details and map of artists' homes are available at Donex, Pharmasave, Save-On-Foods, the 100 Mile District General Hospital, local health clinics and various businesses around town.

Twenty-five per cent from art sales go to the SCHF.

There is no cost for the tour, which runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., but donations are encouraged.
