Summer arts courses scheduled
A new location
The Summerland Art Gallery will relocate to a new Main Street location in June. At present, there are two shows at the existing gallery at 9533 Main St.
Gallery prepares to move In 10 days, the current Art Gallery will be closing its doors forever. However, before it does you are invited to view two very interesting shows at the current Arts Centre. One, Harmony in Music and Nature, is in the Adams Room and features some fantastic felting work
by Allison Altherr. The other exhibition, aptly named My Journey Ends Here, features lino prints from Dr. Fanderlik’s original blocks and is in the main Art Gallery. These images reveal an impressive sense of scale and perspective, of meticulous attention to details, and a love

And mark your calendars for Thursday, July 10 when a new show will open at our new home at 9908 Main St. Thanks to a tremendous amount of work by various contractors and a small group of dedicated volunteers, work is progressing well on transforming the former Willowbrook Lane into an Art Gallery with space for workshops and programs. Walls have been built, sinks have been installed and painting is to be done. Soon there will be new space for the kids’ Summer Art Program that begins on July 7 as well as space for workshops for young and old, not to mention space to paint next year’s street banners. For more about our move, including photos, please visit our website at summerlandarts.com and our Facebook page at Facebook.com/SummerlandArts If you know of an event you feel should be included in the Arts Palette or on the Arts Council’s online calendar, please email artspalette@summerlandarts.com or call 250-404-3225. The Arts Palette is written by David Finnis, Publicity Chair and President of the Summerland Community Arts Council, 9533 Main St.
Although the Summerland Community Arts Council will move to a new location this summer, arts programs for children will still be offered. “It’s going to be a smaller program this year with the move,” said Carmen McDowell, Summer Arts Program coordinator. The arts council will move from the Main Street facility to the former Willowbrook Lane building across the street. The move comes as the municipality has sold the existing art gallery building for the site of a new and larger public library. McDowell said a new course, Space Junk, will be offered this year. Children in the craft-based course will make robots, monsters, masks and more. Several popular programs will return for this year. Broadway Bound is a singing, dancing and theatre games program which has attracted attention in past year. Fun with a Pocket Knife, another popular course, will also be offered. For younger children, Music and Movement will
Storytelling
return. Play with Puppets, a course which includes making puppets and creating fairy tale stories, will be offered. Another course with a fairy tale theme is Once Upon a Time. Participants will make crafts such as masks and sculptures based on fairy tales. Some acting may also be involved. An outdoor course, Messy and Marvellous, will include crafts, old t-shirts and mud. A writing course will also be taught once again this summer. The courses during the Summer Arts Program are for children from three to 12 years of age. All classes will be at the Willowbrook Lane location except for Broadway Bound, which will be at the United Church hall. Registrations will be accepted until June 20. The courses will be held July 7 to Aug. 15. McDowell urges those interested to register early as some of the courses tend to fill up quickly. For older children, the after school arts program will resume in fall.
