The Visual Arts Society (VAS) will be hosting its Annual Christmas Arts and Craft sale Saturday November 25th from 10 am to 5 pm along the Paseo at Camana Bay.
Tents will be set up with tables full of; hand crafted jewellry, original paintings, ceramics, Christmas decorations and cards, souvenirs, hand painted silk scarves, ties and so much more. “It’s amazing the variety of items the artists create from their photographs, batik, painted canvases, clay, stamps collections, plus gems and stones found on the beach” , mentions Marketing Coordinator Mary McCallum, “plenty of options for everyone’s taste”.
The Society has informed us this year they will be selling a fundraiser item, VAS Mugs, which were originally donated to the society. VAS recently invested in the cost to have their logo added to the mugs creating a souvenir for locals and visitors. The funds raised will help support their art programmes.
The society is a non-profit organizations with no corporate or government sponsorship who operate through the efforts of their volunteers funded by their annual membership. The society provides opportunities for artists of all levels and ages to develop in the art community through learning or teaching at their workshops, exhibiting and selling their creations, getting involved in art events plus great volunteer opportunities.
Membership information will be available at the VAS Tent where the VAS Mugs can be purchased. “You don’t need to be an artist to become a member”, explains Mary McCallum, “the society’s membership is made up of hobbyist, commercial artists, those who just have fun creating or just want to support the art community”.
The art society studio is located on the grounds of Pedro St. James where they offer the various workshops in drawing, painting, interior design, ceramics, photography and more.
Come out and support the arts and enjoy a fun day at Camana Day. Take in the art and crafts, treat yourself or buy a unique locally made gift, enjoy some baked goods and music, do some Christmas shopping, plus Camana Bay offers plenty of restaurants and other things to see and do.
