SAGA Public Art Gallery presents “Gems of the Shuswap,” an open exhibition of 7”x5” multi-media works by local artists.
The 7”x5” format celebrates the arts centre’s 75th year. The opening reception is on Friday, Aug. 3 at 7 p.m., featuring live music and wonderful refreshments.
Artists of all ages and media are participating, bringing together more than 400 works for a fabulous installation of small- scale gems. All work is available for sale for $75.
The exhibition is sponsored by Downtown Salmon Arm and the City of Salmon Arm and runs to Sept. 1.
From Aug. 4 to 18, the SAGA Lounge will feature the “Salmon Arm Culture Crawl,” the starting point on the downtown walking tour of 29 businesses featuring local artists.
Beginning Aug. 21, the lounge will display works created during the Roots & Blues “Swarm,” in which artists capture scenes of the festival.
They will be available in a silent auction until Sept. 1.
