Bring your friends and join us on Sept 24th for Victoria's premier tour of spectacular homes.
=0D=0A=Five unique and architecturally stunning Oak Bay homes (all walkable) will intrigue you. Local artists will also be working on location. Tickets are $35 and will be available online Sept 1 and at the Gallery front desk and Garden Works, Dig This, Munro's Books, & Ivy's Bookshop.
=0D=0A=Five fabulous homes—some with extensive renovations and others newly built;
In addition, area artists will be at work in each home.
They include: Richard Hunt, renowned carver from Alert Bay now living in Victoria; Mary Fox, potter from Ladysmith; Will Millar, former leader of the Irish Rovers who has now turned to his life-long passion -- painting; Mary-ellen Threadkell, now painting after a 20-year career as an arts administrator; Keith Holmes artist from Gabriola with more than 30 murals across the country and Joan Pattee, a Victoria artist who has worked in a variety of media, from copper enamel, to water colour, acrylic, oil, and mixed media. She paints the way she gardens, moving things around until structure and colour are just right.
=0D=0A=The House Tour is the Gallery Associates’ major fundraising event. All funds raised go toward supporting programs and operational expenses incurred by the AGGV. The Gallery Associates volunteer, promote and support the Gallery through fundraising events and programs.
