Thursday night was the Artists' Reception for the CNIB Eye Appeal, a fabulous fund raiser to aid those with impaired vision through to those who are blind. As visual artists our craft relies on sight and much of what brings us joy in life is visual. Most likely for that reason, more than 200 artists of Victoria BC generously donated works of art, including paintings, sculptures, fiber art, ceramics, and photography. Here I am with my donated piece, Curb Appeal - Paris France.
The festivities are just getting started, in the Crystal Gardens, an historic building which was once a swimming pool at the turn of the century and is now a part of the Victoria Conference Center. It's a beautiful skylight lit venue for an art exhibition.

Wow! A very impressive exhibit, Claire! I wish you the best of luck!
ReplyDeleteHi Hilda, It really was an impressive exhibit and I have to say that the artists of Victoria were incredibly generous.
DeleteIt looks like great fun Claire! Victoria is one of my favorite places to visit in BC!
ReplyDeleteThanks Laura, so happy to hear that you enjoy my city. Maybe one day we'll run into each other at an art event. Cheers!
