In the month of March, the Oliver Art Gallery was featuring portraits.  If you came by, you not only would  have seen portraits painted by the artists of their friends or family, but also of themselves.

Have you ever wondered what we all look like as a group? We will continue to hang our personal portraits on an ongoing basis.

The spring season is upon us, and the weather has been beautiful in Oliver and the surrounding area.   This is the beautiful time of year when everyone comes outside and enjoys the sunshine.

People and their domestic pets  are all looking forward to the next eight months of good weather.

During April, the Oliver Art Gallery will be featuring paintings of domestic animals. There will be dogs, cats, horses, birds, and more.

If you are an animal lover, you must come by to view and appreciate our four-legged or otherwise loving friends.  You might be surprised with the variety displayed. The artists have been working hard with fresh new paintings.

Coming up in May, our theme feature will be flowers. These should vary from still life to gardens and wildflowers. Our artists want you to appreciate nature’s beauty on canvass.

Remember, there are ongoing art classes in acrylic, oil, and pencil drawing and more.  Please enquire at the gallery for class schedules.

Come and see us Tuesday through Saturday from 11 am to 4 pm.

The Oliver Art Gallery is located at 4064 Main Street in Oliver. Please check our website for further updates and ongoing events.  Our website is www.oliverartgallery.ca
