Medium is the Message

Artist Judy Brayden, Teeny Tiny Art Show the Printmakers Only Group show with etchings, linocuts and more.

CVAC will be adding some musical entertainment in the afternoons as well to create some true mixed media. Watch the calendar for details. And to prove that size doesn’t matter, For the first time since 2018, CVAC is hosting a biennial show and sale of small art items called Teeny Tiny Artworks. More than 60 artists, artisans and jewelers present tiny treasures, with prices beginning at $30. Exquisite miniatures, tiny ceramic jewels, teeny-weeny paintings and hand-drawn items, including one-of-akind cards and tags make this seasonal art event a must. There is something new each day in this treasure trove of tiny art, because unique pieces that sell are replaced throughout the run of the show.

“This popular show has art from local favourites such as painters Kaye Smillie and Sharron Campbell, jewelers Lynn Williams and Rene Deerheart, and many more. We are delighted to offer this delightful event to the community once again,” said show coordinator Judy Brayden.

Medium is the Message

Susan Down is managing director of the Cowichan Valley Arts Council.

Marshall McLuhan, the Canadian communications guru, gave us that familiar catch phrase: the medium is the message. He was referring to print and TV, but CVAC understands that creativity can take many forms and visual art isn’t just confined to the space within a picture frame. In November, CVAC has four shows using mediums such as exquisite wood creations (Wildlife: the art of Todd McAneeley).

The LEGO show this year will feature “the ideal home” as its theme. It is amazing what families and children can create in this medium. Also on during the month is www. cowichanvalleyartscouncil.ca
