Winner of the People’s Choice Award at the Summerland Art Club’s annual show was Blue Moon, a mixed medium painted by Summerland artist Pat Thomson.
She will be giving workshops in the fall using these techniques. In addition, to three beautiful pieces by Thomson, there were many beautiful works in various styles by the other talented members of this art group.
These shows are worth seeing when they are held.
The Summerland Art Club would like to thank everyone who turned out, voted for their favourite painting, and helped to make this a great event.
A number of Summerland residents are members of the Penticton Concert Band which will be performing at Gyro Park in Penticton on Sunday, July 14.
This outdoor concert , as well as their Peachfest performance Aug. 7, will feature Summerland singer Madison Johnson, an award-winning coloratura soprano, who will once again add a new dimension to a few of the band’s long-standing favourite selections.
All concerts will include a variety of styles and tunes, including classical, big band, movie themes, and selections from musicals, along with a few other styles.
There will be something to suit everyone’s taste.
Dedicated band members come to practice in Penticton regularly from all around the Okanagan and Similkameen, including Summerland, and the band is always interested in auditioning new members who can play at an intermediate to advanced level.
