The Victoria Fine Art Festival Society presents it’s inaugural exhibition,
This juried exhibition features works for sale by: Vicki Bailey
(painting/printmaking), Anne Campbell (drawing), Luke Garrison
(digital collage), Jerry Hayes (painting), Paula Johnson (painting),
Robert MacDonald (painting), Russell Maier (painting), Taras Masciuch
(photography), Ian Morris (drawing/painting), and George Williams
(wood carving).
Director and Curator for the Victoria Fine Arts Festival Society, Yuri
Arajs, has a long history of producing social mission-based art
exhibitions.
“I feel strongly about VFAF’s inaugural exhibit focus on one of the
most tragic problems in Victoria – homelessness. This exhibition is a
good example of something concrete that can be done to help people
directly. The artists in the exhibit will have their work framed for
them and receive 100% of sales. Homeless persons seldom are given the
opportunity to have their opinions heard -- much less have their art
valued in mainstream society.”
