People's Choice: Local Art Show

Our past local art show brought together 13 exceptionally talented artists, each sharing their unique perspective, creativity, and craftsmanship with our community.

Visitors had the opportunity to explore an inspiring variety of artistic mediums, including watercolour, acrylic, oil, pottery, fibre arts, photography, fused glass, and wood turning. From vibrant paintings and intricate fibre work to beautifully crafted pottery, glass, photographs, and turned wood, the exhibition showcased the remarkable depth and diversity of talent found right here in our local community.

We are grateful to all of the artists who participated and shared their work with us, and to everyone who came out to celebrate and support local creativity.

The People’s Choice voting was very close, with just a few votes separating the top three pieces. It was wonderful to see so much enthusiasm and appreciation for the wide range of artwork on display.

The People’s Choice Award went to Northern Lights by Carole Dent, followed closely by Revival of the Whooping Crane by Simone LeBlanc and Red Dead Redemption by Kman Kre-ARTions. Congratulations to all three artists, and a special thank you to everyone who took the time to cast a vote and support our local artists!
