ARTSOLUTELY Artisan Market and Fundraiser Community Appreciation Day

Indulge in the complementary offerings at the hot chocolate bar and explore the indoor artisan market and its 40+ vendors. Be entertained by live music while artists captivate you with enthralling art demonstrations including Raku firing, wheel thrown pottery, chainsaw carving, and live painting. On location we also have the Winter Carnival Games Igloo, Beach Radio, and the sweet and savoury offerings from Wicked Waffles Food Truck (their last stop of the year).
As a token of our gratitude, we’re excited to announce two opportunities to win an Artsolutely Shopping Spree, providing attendees with the chance to bring home a piece of the artistic magic on display. One adult will win $150 and one youth will win $25. Winners can pick their own prize from one of our forty-two artists. For our youngest art enthusiasts, there will also be engaging art activities, ensuring a daily of creative exploration for all.
“This Community Appreciation Day is our way of giving back to the incredible community that has supported the Arts Council and Arts Centre for decades, and this important fundraiser for the past 18 years. We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who has championed local artists and made this event a resounding success.” says Rodney Goodchild, Manager of the Vernon Community Arts Centre.
Patricia Doyle, an Artsolutely artisan and long-time VCAC staff member and instructor, has to say about the event: “The Arts Centre is excited to show what the Arts Centre has to offer, not just during Artsolutely, but the rest of the year too! The art demonstrations give insight into the artists’ processes as well as the classes offered at the Arts Centre”
