SUBMITTED BY SSI PAINTERS’ GUILD
The Salt Spring Island Painters’ Guild’s 52nd annual Summer Show and Sale opens at ArtSpring at 10 a.m. on Thursday, July 25 with a reception on Friday, July 26 from 1 to 4 p.m.
During the reception, a certificate of recognition will be presented to this year’s Gulf Islands Secondary School (GISS) scholarship winner, Aio Panwar, whose excellent work is on exhibit as part of the show. Each year the guild awards a $1,000 scholarship to a graduating GISS student to assist their further art education.
The guild takes great joy in sharing the astonishing variety of works from our talented members. Our mandate is to encourage fellowship and growth among artists through a variety of both regular and special activities, from weekly workshops to life drawing and ad hoc summer plein air painting sessions.
The show at ArtSpring runs daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. through Aug. 6.
