A unique charity auction cum wake for the well-known, much-loved and uncommonly talented local artist Diane Gane (1953-2023) will take place this Saturday at the Quail’s Nest Arts Centre organized by another key personality in the local art scene, Leza Macdonald.
Olivia Zeller describes herself as “an emerging artist”, but given she was an avid painter as a kid with life injecting a 40-year hiatus to her painting, she might better be described as a “re-emerging artist”.
When Peter Scott retired from a nearly 30 year career as an art educator to elementary, secondary and college students, little could he know the ‘warmest welcome’ he was going to receive from Osoyoos.
The Art Gallery Osoyoos has kicked off its Summer Artisan Market with 24 local artists and artisans of all ages filling the diminutive gallery’s every available space with handcrafted beauty of all sorts.
On a shelf in the corner of the art gallery curiously sits a mortar and pestle, and beside it four small jars of different hues of reddish-brown to sagey-beige powder. Simple, yet purposefully placed. Innocuous, yet poignant.
