The Arrowsmith Chapter of the Canadian Federation of Artists (FCA) presents its Spring Exhibition starting April 2 at the McMillan Arts Centre (MAC) in Parksville.
Visitors to the exhibition will be able to enjoy creative talents of local artists in this juried art show which runs until April 28, according to a news release by the MAC.
The public is invited to attend the reception and meet the artists at the awards presentation on Saturday April 6, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.
Attendees will also be able to help select the coveted “People’s Choice Award” and vote for their favourite artwork. A prize package of art-cards from FCA member artists will be randomly drawn from participants.
The Arrowsmith FCA Chapter traditionally hosts two juried group shows per year in the spring and fall.

The artwork in these shows, ranging in style from the abstract to the representational in various media such as watercolour, oil, acrylic, pastel, and mixed media, is rigorously selected by three signature members of the FCA.
This will be the first juried show that includes sculptures.
When selecting works, jurors consider such things as mastery of the artist’s chosen medium, use of composition, colour, perspective, light, proportion and more.
The MAC is located 133 McMillan St. in Parksville.
