2019 EVENTS

Campbell River Garden Tour

July 6 and 7 2019

What a wonderful weekend! 291 tickets were sold. It was a record. The gardens were beautiful, the visitors appreciative, and the 25+ artists and musicians amazing. This was a collaborative event with POTA partnering with the CR Garden Club and the City of CR as hosts. Just 2 years to wait for the next one.

River City Arts Festival

July 20 2019

An Art Zentangle experience with Barb Round and Penny Gosselin was sponsored by POTA and CR Arts Council.

Zentangle creates amazing art by drawing patterns called tangles, a method designed by Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas. All you have to be able to do is to make elemental strokes, and a world of patterns begins to unfold as you are guided through a relaxing (thus the zen), fun, and easy method. It’s magical!

Art + Earth Festival Celebration — An Evening Soirée

Saturday, September 21, 2019

Patrons of the Arts (POTA) hosted an enjoyable evening soirée at the Campbell River Museum on behalf of the Festival. POTA featured the unveiling of original art work from four local artists: Eiko Jones, photography; Jill Paris Rody, painting; Ellen Statz, pottery; Alex Witcombe, Drifted Creations — as well as readings from local writers and music too. Guests met the artists, celebrating their art in a relaxed social setting.

In anticipation of a second Art + Earth Festival in the fall of 2020, POTA has reserved the Tidemark Theatre Art Gallery for a visual and performing art show and reception.
