B次元官网网址淎fter much consideration, the Sooke Fine Arts Society (SFAS) has decided that hosting the show online for one more year is the right thing to do, for the safety of our volunteers, our guests, our artists and our community,B次元官网网址� said Eileen Badiuk, the societyB次元官网网址檚 president.

Last yearB次元官网网址檚 show, the organizationB次元官网网址檚 first online presentation, was embraced by artists and customers alike, where more than 10,000 visitors from all over the world viewed 371 works by 234 artists.

And those customers were active online: voting for their favourite pieces, taking part in an online auction, zooming in on artist demonstrations and talks and listening to the talents of local musicians.

B次元官网网址淥ne of the most rewarding aspects of the online show last year was hearing from people who wouldnB次元官网网址檛 usually have been able to see the show in person, and how grateful they were to see the artworks from the comfort of their own homes,B次元官网网址� said Terrie Moore, SFAS executive director.

Moore added that the society would build on last yearB次元官网网址檚 virtual art showB次元官网网址檚 success and add features to its website for a better viewer experience.

Artists are encouraged to submit their works online from March 17 to May 25 at www.sookefinearts.com.
