Nanaimo Artwalk Over 50 Participating Artists Have you had the pleasure of experiencing the Nanaimo Artwalk over the past 14 years? Either way, yes or no you are in for a treat this year. Over 50 artists in 23 shops, galleries, studios and theatres will be meeting with visitors and showing their work. Half the participants are painters using a variety of mediums. In addition you will find exquisite wood furniture, jewellery, fused glass, a variety of textiles including three scarf makers. New artists this year include Sarah Clark with her intricate mandalas, Heath Anderson and his must see pyrography,that’s drawings burned into wood, and Lois McGuffie is displaying her quilts and handwoven work at her shop Ragtime. The 15 th Nanaimo Artwalk takes place in the downtown and Old City areas where there are many shops and eateries so plan on spending the entire day if not two in Nanaimo. The dates are Saturday November 30 and Sunday December 1, 11am to 5 pm both days. The Artwalk has grown considerably in the past few years. Each year a few volunteers pull the whole Artist Tanya thing together on a very Streeter small budget. In recent years we have added a website where you can download the brochure www.NanaimoArtwalk. jimdo.com and you can stay updated year round on a variety of art events by joining www.NanaimoArtwalk/ facebook.com
