Art on the Line

Art on the Line features works by students, noted local artists, visual arts professors and alumni and offers a variety of media and styles -- including drawings, paintings, prints, photographs, sculpture and mixed media -- to meet the tastes and interests of everyone. Ticket holders will select the artworks based on a random lottery system. Time is provided for previewing the art and building wish lists. With 120 pieces to choose from, all 100 participants are assured a choice of juried art. The event will also feature live music by the Malarkeys. Doors open at 6 p.m. for ticket holders to view the artwork, with the draw beginning at 7:30 p.m. Those looking to come out, enjoy the atmosphere and observe the action can purchase a ticket for $10 at the door between 7 and 7:30 pm.
Art on the Line raises funds in support of the fourth-year visual arts students' graduate exhibition, the Alternator Gallery for Contemporary Art and the Arts Council of the Central Okanagan.
