ArtCraft is open

The gentle breeze that blows over the gulf islands stirs our creative minds. The sun shines and we are inspired by the beauty that engulfs us. The rain falls and our creations grow. See the bounty of our labour. Visit ArtCraft gallery on Salt Spring Island. Today the seasonal gallery opens for another year. ArtCraft is housed in Mahon Hall on Rainbow Road.

Weaving together the diverse collection of talent that abounds on the gulf islands is no easy feat. And yet each year the ArtCraft staff accomplish simply this with style and grace. It is my honour to lend a hand. Volunteering allows me to watch the magical transformation.

These pictures were taken on Wednesday, June 10th as the hall was under going its transformation.

The book section sadly minus Maynely a Mystery. However, fear not Maynely a Mystery will arrive...soon. Until then I would be thrilled if you cornered a ArtCraft staff member to pre-order your copy. It would be wonderful if I arrived at the hall with an armful of books only to be told that they were all sold. ...a girl can dream. ...especially this girl.

This is a side room. It is full of colour, full of natural beauty.

If you are able, travel to Salt Spring Island and witness the magic of this gallery in person. It is well worth a visit.
