A quick update as I head out to a “Meet The Artists” demonstration in Sidney. I'm taking part in the ArtSea Festival this year. Here is some info about the events:
Peninsula ArtSea Festival
Celebrate the Arts on the Saanich Peninsula
Join us for the second annual ArtSea Festival: Beginning with the renowned three-day Sidney Fine Art Show on Friday October 14 and concluding with the Peninsula Studio Tour the following weekend, this ten-day period of October offers many art related and literary events, attractions and activities across the peninsula.
The Sidney Fine Art Show is a world class juried art show featuring work by BC artists. Presented by the Community Arts Council of the Saanich Peninsula, this show is for serious artists and patrons of the arts. This three-day event will be held at the Mary Winspear Center in Sidney from October 14 through 16.
Twice a year many artists on the Saanich Peninsula open their studios and invite the public to visit. The autumn tour is now the finishing touch of the ArtSea Festival, taking place at sites around the peninsula on October 22 and 23.
Other scheduled events continue to be included such as a display of work, demonstrations, and crafts for kids at the Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre throughout the festival. The business community is supporting the celebration by hosting artist demonstrations and musical events, and arranging thematic window displays.

In addition there is a lovely show at the Sidney Museum. I helped set it up and am quite proud of it:

This exhibit also includes other samplings such as scarves, shawls and mittens beautifully spun and woven by Deep Cove Weavers and Spinners. Come and enjoy it all at Sidney Museum until the end of October.
