“Out of the Mist Into the Light” - A curated exhibition
A Curated Exhibition is an opportunity to present a cohesive body of work by more than one individual artist. It differs from a community art show or a juried show where the hanging committee uses their creative abilities to put up a beautiful show from the work that is presented to them at the time. In a curated exhibition, the curators work with the artists to define a cohesive visual environment that creates a mood, answers or poses a question, ponders an idea, etc.
For ‘Out of the Mist and into the Light’, co-curators Deborah Czernecky and Kathleen Schmalz, invited a group of ten professional artists, including two clay artists, two photographers, plus watercolor, cold wax, acrylic and oil painters, to create works that represent the area between Colwood and Port Renfrew. The mists, fanciful clouds, and fog of many sorts are an ethereal presence for landscape painters and our 3D artists in our area. Each will have their own special take on the title of the exhibition. Each artists’ work will be presented in one section of the exhibition so the viewer will have a chance to visually ‘read’ each interpretation of the theme.
The artists are Desiree Bond, Victor Crapnell, Irene Ives, Ken G. Miner, Mo Najid, Felice Mazzoni, Janet Moore, and Richard Steward. Czernecki and Schmalz will also have work in the exhibition which starts August 21, 2024.
The official Opening is Aug. 22nd (all welcome), 4 - 6 p.m. The gallery is open Wed. to Friday 10 - 3 and Sat. 12 - 4. The exhibition closes Sept. 20th at 3 p.m.
The Art Show hours:
Wed/Thurs/Fri 10am -3pm & Saturday Noon - 4pm
