Info about the upcoming Community Show Whodunnit - from guest curator Linda Suzuki

~ For all who picked up an 8x10 canvas or 6x6 wood block to participate in the community art show ~

Thank you for taking part in NVCAC's "Whodunnit, A Community Art Show". We are so excited to be putting on a show that showcases our community talent from amateurs and masters, anonymously. 

Please create your artwork using any medium on the panel/canvas supplied to you. Each panel and canvas have been numbered on the back. Please ensure that this number does not get covered up as we need it to keep track of whose pieces sell. When you creating your piece, don't forget the sides. Either continue your painting to it wraps around the sides or paint the sides black when you are done. 

Also remember NOT to sign your art and keep those prying eyes away. We want to keep everything hush-hush as secrecy is paramount for other events during the show to be successful. 

Finally, please return your finished piece to the arts centre by October 13, 2024, during open hours and we will add the hanging wire. 

All artworks will be displayed and placed for sale for October 16 in the gallery. Proceeds from all sales will be split evenly with the artist. We are using this show as a fundraiser for improved lighting in the art gallery. 

Thank you for your support. 

Linda Suzuki
