8th Annual Easter Art Tour 2014

April brings spring, showers and the Easter Art Tour.

Now in it’s eighth year, the Salt Spring Easter Art Tour is an annual self-guided Artist Studio and Gallery tour running from Friday, April 18th until Sunday, April 20th. There are also a host of special exhibits in places such as cafes and book stores. In total, 40 locations will participate this year showcasing the Fine Arts including painting, sculpture and photography.

Each year, a special exhibit is held at Historic Mahon Hall in Ganges featuring a single artist or group of artists and is a great place to start your tour. This year, we are pleased to announce that the feature artists at Mahon Hall are well known painter Stefanie Denz and fine furniture maker turned sculptor Steven Stairs. The feature exhibit will continue through until Sunday, April 27th.

While Stefanie's work is well known, the finely wrought and finished wooden sculptures by Steven Stairs will be shown for the first time ever. Art enthusiasts and collectors will have a rare opportunity to see and purchase his work. Along with examples of her now iconic painting style, Stefanie will be showing more recent work where she floats painted mylar over her paintings. The resulting assemblage forms a complex and rich imagery.

Self guided Tour maps as well as info about the participating studios and galleries are available at Historic Mahon Hall, the location of the feature exhibition. Web and mobile users can visit the new website for an online list of participating locations along with images of the artists' work, contact and web info as well as a google map to their studios. We hope this new feature will help tourists plan their tour.

The Tour is a sponsored program of the Salt Spring Arts Council and is co-sponsored this year by the Gulf Islands Driftwood. There will be an opening reception on Friday, April 18th from 6-9 at Mahon Hall with the artists in attendance. Visit the website at www.saltspringeasterarttour.com
