The Colwood art community was on full display as the Arts and Culture Colwood Society held a summer art show at Meadow Park.

The Saturday (July 23) event saw the parkB次元官网网址檚 meandering pathway lined with 14 artist booths showcasing everything from paintings to jewelry, and even some sweaters.

B次元官网网址淭heyB次元官网网址檝e showcased lots of beautiful artwork for all of us, and itB次元官网网址檚 just a beautiful day for it,B次元官网网址� said society president Laura Davis. B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 just about bringing local artists to our parks where the public can enjoy their work in a public setting, and this is a really beautiful setting.B次元官网网址�

Davis was happy with the eventB次元官网网址檚 turnout, estimating around 100 people had strolled through the show over the first two hours, with more expected to pass through over the course of the afternoon.

The show is the first the society has hosted in the summer, having done fall and spring shows in the past. Davis said the society is hoping to continue hosting summer shows moving forward.

While many of the pieces on display were available for sale directly from the artist, she said the show was not intended to be a market-type event alone.

B次元官网网址淲e like to look at it two-fold: ItB次元官网网址檚 an art show where people can just experience looking at the art and think about what it means to them, but on top of that if they want to purchase it, itB次元官网网址檚 there for sale. But the main focus is the arts engagement for our citizens.B次元官网网址�

While the society would normally plan a similar art show in the fall, Davis said they likely wonB次元官网网址檛 do another until closer to the Christmas season this year as they have a special event planned for September, with more details on that being made public in the coming weeks.
