Oak Bay’s biggest fall art event returns this weekend when the talented visual artists of the community open their home studios to the public.
Autumn Oak Bay Artists’ Exhibition & Studio Tour allows guests to view and purchase works by many of Oak Bay’s established and emerging artists. Several artists open their homes as backdrops to display original watercolour, acrylic, and oil paintings, photography, woodcuts, as well as fibre, glass, and pottery creations. A group of nine presents their works in the Garry Oak Room of the Monterey Recreation Centre.
