Paint Paradise

In the tradition of the Hunaqua Lake painters, and the Orchard Series painters, the next juried members exhibition at SAGA Public Art Gallery will be themed "Paint Paradise: Views of the Salmon River Delta." The call is out for entries to this show that depict the area of the Salmon Arm Bay where the various small rivers enter the lake. Without trespassing on any private property, artists are encouraged to find their way to the pristine spots in that area (and perhaps one would get a nice view from a boat) and depict this area as it is today. In January of 2011, this exhibition will show us paradise before it is paved, through the eyes of our local artists. Margaret Atwood said recently on an edition of "Q" on CBC radio, "leave it to the arts if you want to get the message out."
