Highlighting the many ways people can help improve local health care, the South Cariboo Health Foundation (SCHF) is hosting its Second Annual Studio 2 Studio Art Tour on Sept. 13.
The self-guided tour of 108 Mile Ranch artists’ homes will benefit local health-care facilities and goes from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sept. 13.
The event is a creative way to raise funds and the inaugural went really well last fall, says SCHF public relations co-ordinator Brenda Devine.
“There was a lot of good feedback. I’m really hoping it’s going to be successful this year.
“Last year, a lot of people took visitors with them to see what our area was like…. People can’t believe what kind of quality stuff we have here.”
No tickets are required and 25 per cent from art sales will support the SCHF.
Vidas Restaurant in 108 Mile Ranch is partnering with the event and is open for lunch and dessert.
The tour features 10 local artists:
• Susan Kruse (acrylics) 4879 Gloinnzun Dr.
• Gloria Friesen (abstract photography) 5446 Tatton Stn. Rd.
• Yoka Loiseau (mixed media) 4730 Kitwanga Dr.
