The 2013 Sidney Fine Art Show will be held October 18th � 20th at the Bodine Family Hall at the Mary Winspear Centre in Sidney. Presented by the Community Arts Council of the Saanich Peninsula, this Show is a world-class juried art show for serious artists and patrons of the arts. The first Show in 2003 was an outstanding success and each year the Show has attracted thousands of visitors to the town of Sidney.

Every year approximately 6,000 people come and admire the art and the town. Each year we receive approximately 1,250 pieces of art to adjudicate, and our dedicated jury selected close to 400 of the best to show. In 2011, we wrote cheques back to the artists for over $112,000 for art that was sold during the show. This was money that went directly back to our island artistic community. Through the Community Arts Council of the Saanich Peninsula, we also contributed funds to support the diverse programs of the CACSP.

Almost 300 volunteers, many of them artists, were directly involved, helping to make the show successful, as well as having fun meeting artists and neighbours, and making new friends.
