Acrpost: A Project of the Pacific Association of Artist Run Centres

Event Description

West Coast Wild Exhibit ~ Come and join us for our second annual group exhibition, taking place the week of April 19-25, 2024 at the ArtSea Gallery in Tulista Park, 9565 Fifth Street, Sidney, B.C.

West Coast Wild features the work of seven artists, Carole Finn, Dyan Myhr, Anna Spratt, Thomas Kero, Corinne Flaws, Bettina Williams, and
Jocelyn West, who take their inspiration from their love of rolling surf, sea fog, mossy forests and of the wondrous creatures who inhabit land and
seascapes. The WCW group came together for the first time in April, 2022, in the dwindling days of Covid 19. After months of masks, and isolation, it
was a relief and delight to meet each day, to share a passion for art, and a love for the preternatural beauty of the Pacific Rim.

Seasoned artist and educator, Carole Finn, who will be participating in this exhibit, hosted the week-long painting workshop in Ucluelet, B.C. Carole
generously shared her many skills and considerable experience over the course of what proved to be a very productive week. Judging by previews of the work that these seven dedicated artists are showing this year at the ArtSea Gallery in Tulista Park, West Coast Wild has outdone last year’s success. Packed with paintings and prints of every size and medium—each artist displays a unique style and approach, united by a deep love of the wild West Coast, and of Vancouver Island, in particular.

Set aside some time on your calendar to see this impressive show of windswept beaches, foaming waves, orcas, ravens, and more. Come by the ArtSea Gallery on Saturday, April 20, from 1:00 t0 4:00 pm, and meet the artists at the opening reception.
