SUMMARY:Paintings\, By the Numbers
DESCRIPTION:Internationally renowned painter\, Ken Kirkby donated 50 of his paintings to Project Watershed prior to his death on June 20\, 2023. It was his wish that they be used for this event to raise funds for environmental restoration\, research and education on Vancouver Island. \nPaintings\, By The Numbers 2024\, will focus on celebrating Ken’s life and art on the beautiful enclosed patio at 40 KNOTS Winery. In addition to the art available in the draw\, we will have commemorative prints of his most famous painting “Isumataq” and books written about his life and journeys available to peruse or purchase. Luke Blu Guthrie will provide live music and complimentary locally crafted amuse-bouche from Cheffanie will be available. \nThe main activity of the event is the Art Draw which combines the thrill of getting a good deal with the warm fuzzy feeling of contributing to environmental stewardship. In Ken’s words “It’s not just a deal\, it’s a steal”. Ken’s art is world renowned and is valued between $1\,500 to $8\,000\, depending on factors such as size and framing. Through this event\, Art Draw Ticket holders will get to own an original Ken Kirkby for $600. Art Draw Ticket holders will also receive a complimentary taster of wine\, an amuse-bouche and may bring a guest. \nIf you just want to come and enjoy an afternoon of art and music\, Spectator Tickets are also available for $25. These tickets come with a glass of 40 Knots wine or a non-alcoholic beverage\, an amuse-bouche by Cheffanie\, and a Ken Kirkby commemorative print. \nThanks to our sponsors Odlum Brown\, 40 KNOTS Winery and Cheffanie\, all funds raised will go towards Project Watershed’s work in ecological restoration\, research\, and education.

SUMMARY:Pearl Ellis Gallery Presents: "Outside In"
DESCRIPTION:The Pearl Ellis Gallery is thrilled to present “Outside In\,” a captivating group show featuring the works of Maggie Ziegler\, Sharon Lalonde\, Shea Kotilla\, Jean Cockburn\, Lynn Farwell\, Larissa McLean\, and Elaine Smith. This exhibition runs from September 17 to October 12\, 2024. \nThe concept behind “Outside In” explores the sources of artistic inspiration. It goes beyond the visible world\, delving into the emotions and intangible feelings that drive creativity. This exhibition emphasizes the synthesis of external experiences with internal emotions to create art that is both visually striking and emotionally resonant. \nThe participating artists draw from their surroundings\, memories\, and personal experiences\, blending these with their inner emotions to create pieces that not only depict but also connect on a deeper level\, capturing what matters. \nWhile technical skill is essential\, the artists in “Outside In” aim to infuse their work with personal expression. This adds a unique touch that transforms their creations from mere representations into meaningful\, original art. \n“Outside In” challenges the notion that art must replicate reality. Instead\, the artists focus on capturing the essence of their inspirations—both seen and unseen—inviting viewers to engage with their work on an emotional level. \nMeet the artists and experience their work firsthand at the opening reception on Saturday\, September 21\, from 1-3 PM. The Pearl Ellis Gallery is open Tuesday to Saturday\, from 10 AM to 4 PM.
