Voices of Women through Canadian History: An Exhibition Celebrating Women's Day The Community Arts Council of Greater Victoria is pleased to host Voices of Women through Canadian History, an exhibition celebrating International Women's Day and local women artists.

This is a lightly juried show featuring female artists of all levels and disciplines. More than just an exhibition, this event is a celebration of the diversity of female artists that call the British Columbian West Coast home. The works exhibited aim to exemplify the Canadian female experience.

The exhibition is all inclusive, displaying a variety of mediums (print, painting, sculpture – to name a few). This installation will also feature performances and a speakers’ series of prominent women artists and art historians (times TBC). Open to women artists, or artists that identify as women, that call Vancouver Island or the Gulf Islands home, this promises to be an exciting event imbued with cultural significance.

The show runs from March 2nd until March 12th 2017 at the Victoria Arts Council's main gallery located at 636 Fort Street with the entrance located on the second floor of the Bay Centre next to Ann-Louise Jewellers.

A reception will take place on Thursday, March 2 from 7:00-8:30pm and will showcase local musical talent. Refreshments will be served. The reception is free and open to the public.

The Community Arts Council of Greater Victoria has encouraged and celebrated local arts since 1968. CACGV is a registered charity.
