A few comments from last year’s Patrons;

“The Patron's night is always a fun time with great food, beverages, music and friendly hosts. I have used my Patron's credit towards paintings, jewellery and pottery in the past and look forward to finding my 2023 pick!"

– Richard Lloyd

"My wife and I have been proud supporters and patrons of the SPAC Spring Show since 2019. The diversity of the show guarantees something for every palette for visual arts lovers like us. We have yet to leave a show without a new treasure for our home. A big thank you to the volunteers who organize SPAC and continue to bring us this wonderful event.
