My fellow Landing Artists and I are so very excited to be staging a show—our first in 18 months!—at a new venue: the Sunshine Coast Botanical Gardens at 5941 Mason Road, just north of Sechelt. The gardens themselves are worth a visit—you should SEE the gorgeous blooms in their terrace garden, in beds that have not been watered even once since they were planted four years ago! Astonishing and inspiring for all coast gardeners facing summer drought conditions. Stop watering and plant for the conditions!
But about the art—my friends Charmaine Bayntun (whose poetic work graces my first two book covers), Ed Hill, Nancy Hugh, Trisha Joel, and Coralie Swaney will be on hand all weekend with me with paintings and prints, photographs and fibre, and we’ll also be showing Diane Clark’s jewellery and Che Kehoe’s quirky repurposed vintage lamps. It’s a great location and a lovely place for a day trip.
New this time around—we’ll have a daily draw for a gift basket stuffed with treats from each artist. There’s no admission fee, but we’ll gratefully accept donations to a fund focused on a scholarship for one or more local Indigenous students, which has been set up by the school district and Pulling Together (a local indigenous/white paddling initiative).
Saturday and Sunday 1-6; Monday 1-5
Hope to see you there!
PS—yes, I’ll have signed copies of all my books available too ($25 per book)
