The 2010 Sidney Fine Art Show will be held October 15th – 17th at the Bodine Family Hall at the Mary Winspear Centre in Sidney. Presented by the Community Arts Council of the Saanich Peninsula, this Show is a world-class juried art show for serious artists and patrons of the arts. The first Show in 2003 was an outstanding success and each year the Show has attracted thousands of visitors to the town of Sidney.
Last year over 6,000 people came and admired the art and the town. We had over 1,200 pieces of art to adjudicate, and our dedicated jury selected close to 400 of the best to show. We wrote cheques back to the artists for over $110,000 for art that was sold during the show. This was money that went directly back to our island artistic community. Through the Community Arts Council of the Saanich Peninsula, we also contributed funds to support the diverse programs of the CACSP.
Almost 300 volunteers, many of them artists, were directly involved, helping to make the show successful, as well as having fun meeting artists and neighbours, and making new friends.
As a community focused show, it is extremely important to us to communicate with you, and we encourage you give us your feedback and ideas – it is through your input and participation that we can become even better, and, in doing so, help the arts community to grow and flourish. If you have any comments or suggestions on the new site please post a comment to the home page, or use the contact tab at the top of this page to send your comments or suggestions to us.
