Midsummer Art Fair offers enchanting and affordable art work to the public
By David F. Rooney
The Revelstoke Visual Arts Centre’s Midsummer Art Fair is offering members of the public something they shouldn’t pass up — an opportunity to acquire exquisite and affordable original art works by local artists.
Whether it is a piece of pottery, a photograph, wood carving or painting, the artworks on offer at The Centre until September 7 are sure to bring a smile to everyone who sees them.
The Centre, which is located in the old RCMP detachment at 320 Wilson Street, is open Tuesday through Saturday from 1 pm until 4 pm.
Here are images of some of the works on offer at the fair:
