The Old School House Arts Centre in Qualicum Beach on Vancouver Island is hosting a winter juried exhibition coinciding with the Olympic Games in Whistler/Vancouver. Approximately 70 paintings have been juried into the exhibition by Judges Don Farrell, Merv Brandel and Gerda Hofman, three local, internationally respected artists. The first prize is $2010.00, second prize is $1000.00 and third prize is $500.00. Each winner will also receive a commemorative vase created by First Nations artist Terry Jackson. There will be an Opening Reception on February 10, and the show will hang until March 28, 2010. The three winning paintings along with the artists’ biographical profiles will be presented in an article in the 2010 Spring/Summer edition of gallerieswest art magazine. In addition, a catalog has been published, and features the paintings and brief biographical profiles of the short-listed as well as lottery-winning artists. All other participating artists will also be noted, and thumbnail photos of their submissions will be included in the catalog. All paintings are for sale.
