Winter Art Faire - Celebration

December 13 2025 / 1:00pm – 4:00pm

ART FAIRE CELEBRATION

Join us at the Comox Valley Art Gallery on Saturday, December 13, as we celebrate the talented regional artists and artisans who make our annual Winter Art Faire possible! In the spirit of the holidays, this market is all about supporting and uplifting their creative and professional practices.

This year, the curated Art Faire features handmade items by over 30 valley and regional creatives, many of whom will be attendance during the party from 1:00 – 4:00pm.

We will also be joined by a special guest — SANTA will be here screen printing up a storm from 1:00 – 3:00pm! Drop-in for a demonstration of the print process, and take home a free souvenir!

From 3:00 – 4:00pm, there will be LIVE MUSIC in GATHER⋮PLACE. Stop for a break and be filled with the sweet sounds of our very local and talented singer/song-writer Rhea George.

CVAG’s drop-in MAKE ART station will be full of supplies for making simple cedar decorations and seasonal cards. (Children and those needing assistance to participate in CVAG art stations should be accompanied by adult support persons.)

We look forward to celebrating local creativity with the community!

Comox Valley Songwriters Circle
2025-12-15 19:00 - 21:00 | Artful the Gallery, 526 Cumberland Rd, Courtenay, BC, V9N 2C7
Each month singer/songwriters gather to share their tunes at Artful : The Gallery. The range of abilities, experience and genres welcomes musicians who appreciate the challenge (and the deadline!) of creating a new song each month.
The circle provides a place to be inspired, seek feedback and to be
able to hear what other creatives are working on. Most musicians bring along their
guitars or ukuleles, although some sing a capella or use the in-house piano for accompaniment.
Host Ashley Sykes’s love of connecting with other artists provides motivation to write
and perform in the supportive group. The circle does not provide instruction; it provides an opportunity to perform your song, and to be impacted by others doing the same.
Attendance is by donation ($10 or pwyc). The group welcomes newcomers, and the
only criteria is that the songs performed are original.
