salt spring island "openings"...the terrific "arts scene".

July 3, 2009.

I'm always happy to sponsor various art presentations, as I do believe that artistic expression "feeds the soul", and this next week the Precious Metals display at ArtCraft is one of the things I am pleased to "present", via sponsorshiip of the Salt Spring Arts Council. Tonight is the opening reception, between 6 and 8 p.m. The silver and goldsmiths will be in attendance, and their magical work will be showcased on the stage of Mahon Hall. This special presentation runs from July 3 to 16th. See you there!

This Sunday is the 7th Annual Lavender Festival at Sacred Mountain Lavender location on Musgrave Road. Lots going on! Don't miss this event.

Music and Munch, on July 8th, welcomes renowned harpist, Josh Layne. Performance begins at 12:30, at All Saints by the Sea, followed by an optional lunch ($5.50). Enjoy!

Wander into Jill Louise Campbell Gallery, across from Treehouse Cafe...you will be instantly energized by Jill's paintings. Evocative and romantic renderings, that both soothe and interest the soul. Love the sailboats clustering in race mode, off one of the Harbour islands, in a new painting by Jill.

If you haven't made it to the photography exhibition at ArtSpring, Lumiere, don't miss this -- it runs till July 12th. Such talent, on this Island!

Not too late to get involved with the ArtSpring's main fundraiser event, Treasure Fair. Silent and live auctions, between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m., Thursday through Saturday, July 16 to 18.

Salt Spring Woodworks Inside/Outside show opens for the summer season, with new sculpture and art furniture on display. Amazing works, here! Open daily, for the "season", between 10 and 5.

Don't forget the Salt Spring Potters Guild, with their annual summer showcase in the windows of Mark's Work Wearhouse. The theme this year is "Our Harbour".

So much to see and to do, in this busy summer season! Enjoy!
