ARTIST CALLS & UPCOMING SHOWS
Sooke Arts Council provides our members with fresh inspiration and opportunities to showcase their talent in themed gallery shows. You are invited to create, exhibit and share in the joy that is art!
Under Our Feet (Artist Call)
Look down... how often do you spend time really looking at the world beneath your own feet. We encourage you to create art around the small (or large) things that you find.
Another way of looking at this topic questions you to examine what grounds you.

SAC will be filling our gallery with gifts all year long. You are invited to make and sell your items with us at any time.
We are closing from Dec 22 to January 15th.
Please consider art gift items Valentine's Day, Mother's Day and seasonal in spirit.
Gift Shop Intake: January 12 from 10 to 1.
Introspection (Artist Call)
Create what you find when you look inward and examine your own thoughts, emotions, judgements & perceptions. We challenge our members to dig deep and do some real soul searching with this exercise. Feel free to be profound or humorous - we all have serious AND light-hearted sides.
