Art lovers from Ladysmith and surrounding communities packed the Waterfront Gallery Saturday, Feb. 6, for the opening of the 2016 Ladysmith Fine Art Show.

From 7 to 9 p.m. they wondered, contemplated and puzzled over a collection of work submitted by 115 artists, listed in the show’s program. And many will return over the next three weeks to take in a show that runs until Feb. 28, daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Jurors John Marston, Ellen McCluskey, Grant Leier and Nixie Barton undertook the formidable task of choosing from amongst the hundreds of entries for the bi-annual show, which came from all over Vancouver Island.

“A huge thank you to all the artists who brought in extraordinary art in all mediums,” says a message from the Ladysmith Arts Council. “You challenge us with the variety and quality of your work. It delights us that the imagination continues to fuel the art experience.”
