The arts are ever expanding in ladysmith, which now plays host to internationally acclaimed artists, and a growing gallery by the waterfront.
The arts council also has a gallery made up of a compendium of artists.
The gallery is located just inside the entrance to Transfer Beach Park, on Oyster Bay Drive, a short, unpaved road. The gallery and council have been housed in the space for two years.
Recently, the town agreed to rent space to more artists and the gallery is also going to have studio space for artists. For more information about the gallery, call 250-245-1252 or see www.ladysmithwaterfrontgallery.com.
Events
On Aug. 29, First Avenue becomes an outdoor gallery, as artists from all mediums storm the street. The all day event offers up plenty to pick from and some artists may be demonstrating their skills.
The Ladysmith Waterfront Arts Gallery Centre regularly changes its artwork. Every few months, a new special exhibit goes up on the wall. Visit the gallery’s website at www.ladysmithwaterfrontgallery.com.
