The Comox Valley Art Gallery is celebrating its 50th Anniversary. Everyone is invited to help celebrate on Saturday, November 23rd.
The festivities - underway at 130pm - will also mark the opening of an Art Faire featuring work created by dozens of local artists, and a retrospective installation about the gallery’s history.
“It’s a significant birthday party in two ways,” says Denise Lawson, Director of Curatorial Programming at CVAG.
“Not only is it 50 years since the Gallery first opened, but the coming year will be the 20th anniversary of our move to our current location at the City’s old fire hall on the corner of Duncan and sixth.”
Lawson said the event will be a chance to hear and see more about CVAG’s history, meet the artists with work in the Art Faire, and to purchase locally made gifts for the holiday season.
The Art Faire and 50|20 Retrospective will run at the Gallery from November 20th to December 23rd.
Normal gallery hours are Wednesday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., but the Gallery will also be open until 6 p.m. on Dec. 20 and from noon to 4 p.m. on Dec. 22 and 23.
