Artists in the Artrium kicks off summer art events

Courtesy of the City of Quesnel:

Quesnel & District Leisure Services will host a series of art events this summer, starting with Artists in the Artrium on Saturday June 2 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Quesnel Artrium, Quesnel and District Arts & Recreation Centre. Local artists will demonstrate technique and sell their creations, with tables set up for visitors to try their hand at a variety of art materials.

The following two events are the ever-popular Artists in the Market on July 7 at the Quesnel Farmers Market and Artists at Skyfest on Aug. 4 at the Quesnel Regional Airport. Mark your calendars and meet our local artists!

"People enjoy Artists in the Market each summer and always ask for more events like this, so this year I thought we'd try one event a month at different locations," said Elizabeth Waldorf, the Arts Program Coordinator at the Quesnel and District Arts and Recreation Centre. "The first event this Saturday in the Artrium, Quesnel's permanent art collection, will be fun and interesting for people, jam packed with things to see and do."

The Quesnel Art Gallery will also have its new show, On the Way, open, displaying recent photography by Daniel Pfister.

For artists wishing to participate at Artists in the Market and Artists at Skyfest, contact the Arts Office at 250-991-4013.
