A local arts organization celebrated Christmas in a new home this year.
Lakehead Visual Arts has been in the city for nearly 60 years. While it used to call the old baggage building at Marina Park its home, for the first time its Christmas Art Exhibit and Sale at the new and improved building. The two-day event, which wrapped up Sunday, featured paintings from 20 local artists.
“There’s a lot of work out here for the public to enjoy and buy,” said member Marilyn Boyle. While
Saturday’s bad weather kept the customers away, Boyle said Sunday’s crowd was much better.
“There have been people walking through the building and looking.”
Most of the artwork, which featured many local scenes, was done with watercolour, acrylic or oil. The club is hoping to host another two-day exhibition sometime in March.
