Arbutus Ridge Art Club

Watercolour inspired by the Canadian landscape. Exploration of essential watercolour techniques and perception exercises will enable participants the ability to paint directly from nature. Creativity with this spontaneous and fluid medium will be emphasized.

The Arbutus Ridge Art Club has been blessed in the past 3 years by having artists such as Robert Genn, Jack Reid, Pat Fischer, Grant Fuller and now David McEown, among others, to help guide our brushes in search of that perfection we all seek in ourselves. Contact Ardyce McArthur at 743-8319 for information.

Cowichan Valley Camera Club

Website: www.cowichanvalleycameraclub.com

The Cowichan Valley Camera Club was formed in 1980 by a group of amateur and professional photographers. The goal was to share their interests and knowledge of all things pertaining to photography. Twenty-five years later we still have founding members active and sharing knowledge to the other club members. The club meets in Duncan BC on Vancouver Island twice a month from September thru June. You are welcome to visit us at any time. Check the meetings page for details of the next scheduled meeting.

Kaatza Art Group

Formed on October 25, 1970 this club has stood the test of time. Originally formed by painters the group has now evolved into a very talented eclectic mix.

Now we are a very integrated mix of painters, potters, printers, designs in wood, Pysanky, and calligraphers.

Meetings are the last Wednesday of the month and most Wednesdays from 1-3pm the group meets at The Mildred Child Annex for group paint in or special instruction workshops. The long weekend in May is our Annual Show & Sale.
