The Summerland Pleasure painters have also resumed their Friday sessions and are meeting every Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Harold Simpson Memorial Youth Centre.
New members are most welcome.
You don’t have to be at a certain level of painting, beginners are very welcome, everyone helps each other, and they work with different media such as acrylic, oil, watercolour, pastel, pencil drawings etc.
This weekend is the 104th annual Summerland Fall Fair and you are invited to come and “Celebrate our Roots.”
