Open Studios
Art Studio #5, 375 Bernard Avenue, Kelowna, BC
August 8 - 10, 2008
Open Studios is like a studio crawl and my studio partner Carrie Harper and I will be a part of it! We are opening our studio doors and everyone is welcome!
"Open Studios promotes recognition that the arts are a significant component of our region and contribute to the public awareness about the quality and diversity of art created in our community. It also provides an educational experience for all ages, which will help foster an interest in and a greater understanding of the artistic process. This program provides a rare opportunity of seeing artists in their own environment and to experience artists discussing and demonstrating their materials and art process."

Art show and Wine Tasting
Creative Expressions March 27 - April 30, 2008
Chateau Kimberley Hotel, Kimberley, BC
Karin Vermassen from Wine Occasions hosted a wine tasting on March 27th at the artists' reception at the Chateau Kimberley Hotel.
 The show was a big success with over 250 people at the opening. We had many comments on the quality of work and the ambiance of the Chateau. The Hotel is actually the old “Cominco Mining Office”. The ambience is wonderful. The Architect who designed it is from Calgary.
The Chateau Kimberley had an art show last year called “Champagne and Chocolates”. The Chateau had people come in from all over to stay because they heard about the artwork. They had over 200 people attend the opening.
The artists in the Creative Expressions art show:
Denai Bell, MaryAnn Bidder, Walter Comper, Sandra Donohue AFCA, Janice Edwards, Cory Horne, Lynne Grillmair AFCA, Teresa Knight, Jim Poch, Grant Smith, Kendra Smith, and Charlene Stroud. If you have any questions about the art show please feel free to call MaryAnn Bidder
at 250 427-7142.
After the artshow, my remaining work was taken to the Fernie Arts Co-op at 572 2nd Avenue in Fernie, BC. Please call them at 250-423-7044 if you have any questions about my paintings.

 Kendra
is excited to be part of the 2005 and 2006 Fernie Banner Projects
and has had three paintings featured on banners in historic downtown
Fernie.
The project was initiated by local resident Linda Hide
who organized recruiting artists, secured funding and ensured
the banners were produced and ready to launch this spring.
In addition to Linda, the Fernie Banner Project would not
have been possible without the efforts and support of: The
City of Fernie, The British Columbia Arts Council, Jennifer
Girard, Kevin MacIsaac, Terry Nelson, all of the contributing
local artists, and the sponsors. Next time you're in Fernie
be sure to check them out...brochures with information about
all of the artists are available at the Fernie
Arts Co-op, as are full colour commemorative posters
($10 each).
