Celebrate the Bay Exhibition

Local artists share their perspectives of Crescent Beach and White Rock Beach. A plein air tribute to the place where we live.

We are grateful for the generous sponsorship of Opus Art Supplies and their continued support for our arts community. Opus donated 20 canvases under their Art Brings Us Together program for Celebrate the Bay.

Obstructed View This painting was created over several days at West Beach in White Rock. Friday the 13th was the smokiest and although I know the view well I could barely see it. Our Bay is beautiful and even in the smoke, you could see why people come to enjoy it. How sad it would […]

Sunset at Blackie Spit Painting “plein air” can have its challenges: changing light, darkness descending, clouds moving etc. Luckily I managed to take a few good photos and was happy with capturing the light at Blackie Spit. Because of the smoky skies, we are all enduring changes in the atmosphere, including colour changes to our […]
