Our Farm to Art: Plein Air Art Event is coming up Monday July 13.

Please pre-register at qathetART.ca if you would like to attend this lovely afternoon of plein air creating and farm fresh nibbles at Paradise Valley Produce

Never tried making art outside? No problem. We can set you up with a basic kit to get started. An optional add-on of a watercolour or acrylic painting kit is available when you register.

Not a painter? Also not problem. You are welcome to work in any media as long as it’s non toxic and keep it simple. Pack it in, pack it out!

Along with creating time, the event will include a plein air technique demo, opportunities to share artwork (if you’re comfortable), mingle with others and celebrate the season.

ReNew Art Faire preview:⁠

Image 1: Willow avenue / Catherine - ⁠
Catherine Langevin (the artist behind Willow Ave.) is a willow weaver based in qathet, BC, with a focus on creating sustainable, functional pieces like foraging baskets, backpacks, and home decor. Her work is inspired by a deep commitment to living gently with the earth, with each creation reflecting this intention. Beyond her craft, Catherine is passionate about teaching. She offers weaving workshops across the Sunshine Coast, Lower Mainland, and Vancouver Island, where she shares her love of weaving and empowers others to create their own sustainable woven pieces.⁠
⁠
Image 2: Found Stone Jewelry~Art~Decor -⁠
Suzi Wiebe is the owner of Found Stone Jewelry~Art~Decor, a local artist based in Powell River BC. Suzi creates Whimsical Beach Glass Art and Decor found on the shores of the Salish Sea. Her work is humorous, heartwarming and allows people to see themselves, family and friends reflected in her art.⁠
⁠
Image 3: Trash to Treasure -⁠
When Carmen retired she decided to teach herself how to sew again with thrifted fabric and garments. She transforms someone's trash into a treasure, making a variety of items that are sold at the Farmers Market and Craft Fairs.⁠
