Out of the Mist and Into the Light… an art exhibition

‘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 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 Najd, Felice Mazzoni, Janet Moore, and Richard Steward. Czernecky and Schmalz will also have work in the exhibition which opens August 21, 2024. The Opening Reception will be August 22nd from 4 – 6 p.m. All are welcome.

The gallery is open Wednesday to Friday 10am – 3pm and Sat. 12 – 4pm. The exhibition closes Sept. 20th at 3 p.m.

Less than one year since opening our doors, the Arts & Culture Centre was recently voted by Greater Victoria in the top three Art Galleries in the annual ‘Best of the City’ challenge. The Arts and Culture Colwood Society is extremely grateful for the opportunity to have a world-class space to feature arts and cultural events, showcasing the phenomenal artistic talent in our local and regional community.
