Almost Famous
May 1 – June 3 2023
We’ve all done it from following a tutorial online, watching a Bob Ross video, to trying our best to recreate ‘Starry Night’ by Vincent van Gogh, we’ve likely all ‘copied’ anothers work or style, it’s how we learn after all by immitation. As we endevor to create our own style we often emulate and at times down right copy the form of another artists, this is how artists grow and how art forms themselves evolve over time.

Call for Entry

What makes you think of summer?
A favourite summer activity? Hiking? Swimming? Childhood memories? A favourite vacation spot or somewhere you haven’t been and would like to go? Maybe it’s something simple, like sunlight on water or beach umbrellas dotting the shore of a lake. Whatever it is, we want to see it. So get creating and chase away the winter blahs with sunny summer inspiration.
All mediums are welcome for the art show. The first and second “People’s Choice” will receive cash prizes. Entry forms and more information can be found online at www.monasheeartscouncil.com or at the Village Gallery 778-473-3029 (1975 Vernon Street).
Photos for the photography contest can be taken with digital or film cameras or with phones. London Drugs has once again generously donated ten prizes for this contest.
Entries will be divided into two age groups with three categories. Age groups are 12 and under and 13 to adult, and the categories are; Mountain & Trail, Animals, and Activities/Recreation. Photos will be judged and prizes will be awarded to 1st and 2nd place in each category. There will also be a prize for people’s choice for best photo overall in each age group.
