At the May board meeting of the Summerland Community Arts Council, Stan Etter stepped down after serving 15 years on the board.
Etter has served in many capacities: as chair of the building committee, vice president, president and most recently as treasurer.
Thank you Stan for all the work you have done around the Art Gallery and Arts Centre and for all your years of work promoting the arts in Summerland.
Like many groups in Summerland, the Arts Council is always looking for new members and volunteers.
However, you don’t have to serve 15 years. It could be as little time as one hour every six weeks putting up posters advertising the new show at the gallery.
If you are interested in being a Gallery sitter or helping on one of our seasonal activities please drop by the office and talk with Karan.
The colourful street banners are once again up in downtown Summerland and on Lakeshore Drive.
You can pick up a brochure at the Summerland Arts Centre giving details on each banner.
This is a multi-generational project and many thanks to all the artists and Arts Centre coordinators and helpers and to the public works staff who hung these banners.
These banners certainly brighten up town for both residents and visitors.
