Fall Festival Weekend is full of amazing activities and the Fall Art show and Sale is one of them.
Oliver’s 38th Fall Art Show & Sale is opening its doors at the Oliver Community Hall on September 23 and 24.
The event shares the same weekend and venue as the Cask and Keg Festival and Festival of the Grape.
Lots of beautiful art will be on display submitted by regional artists, some will be on sale, and there will be a competition with nine different categories all of which recognize and award various different kinds of artistic creations.
The nine categories are photography, fibre art, three dimensional art, water colours, oils, acrylics, mixed/other media, and two youth categories.
The Oliver Community Arts Council, who are putting on the show and sale are inviting the public to vote for their favourite out of the 104 pieces of art on display. The showcase features numerous new participants including 14 youth entries.
The show takes place both days of the popular weekend. On Saturday, the public can enter and view the exhibit. Admittance is by donation or raffle draw from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m.
