This weekend the Summerland Art Club present their Annual Show and Sale on Saturday and Sunday, June 7 and 8 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the lower floor of the Summerland Library on Wharton Street.
There will be more than 20 painters presenting new, original works in watercolour, acrylics, oil, pastels, and pencil.
This is a wonderful opportunity to purchase gifts for people or just to enjoy beautiful art by some of our many talented artists here in Summerland.
Complimentary refreshments will be served.
Admission is free and there will be an opportunity to meet and speak with the artists on Sunday at 3 p.m.
Also this weekend is an opportunity to enjoy Nora Ephron’s play, Love, Loss, and What I Wore, at Oasis United Church.
Nicola Cavendish, Elyse Blaise, Mia Harris, Sharon Moriarity, Christa Phillips, Judy Ritcey, and Eleanor Walker present this play reading about women and their relationship to clothing in their lives.
It is moving and funny, dark and poignant.
There will be three performances: June 6 and 7 at 7 p.m. and a 2 p.m. matinee on Sunday, June 8. There will be a ‘meet the cast’ reception after the Sunday afternoon performance.
Classes are filling up for the annual Summer Art Program for students ages three to 12 so register soon.
In addition to favourites like Fun with a Pocket Knife, Once Upon a Time, Music and Movement, Drawing and Painting, Wild About Writing, Broadway Bound there will be a new art course this year: Space Junk!
