Wine, jazz, specialty coffees and incredible desserts come together this Saturday at the Arts Centre as the Summerland Community Arts Council hosts Cafe Noir.
Your ticket will provide you with a beautiful pottery mug created by a member of the Summerland Pottery Guild.
This beautiful keepsake will, of course, be yours to take home.
However, before you leave you will have the opportunity to fill it with a delicious coffee created by Darin Fair of Lone Tree Coffee.
Equally tempting will be the sumptuous desserts, all of which can be enjoyed while listening to the soft music of Almost a Few.
In addition, Sonoran Estate Winery will be on hand with an array of their delicious wines for those who prefer wine more than coffee in the evening.
All of this takes place in the Arts Centre where you’ll be able to view the current show Talking with Strangers.
For those who have not been able to visit the Art Gallery in the last week you will notice the new track lighting that has been installed providing the much needed accent lighting that a gallery requires.
As I mentioned in last week’s column the Arts Council will be holding its annual general meeting on Feb. 28 and this is an excellent opportunity to hear all about SCAC’s activities in the last year.
Both the good (we survived our move) and the bad (it bordered on the overwhelming) not to mention all the positive things like a very successful Summer Art Program and the very successful Seasons Sparkles that really benefited from the new, street-level location.
As with all volunteer based organization the Arts Council is always looking for new people to assist with various special events and/or join the board.
And as I’ve mentioned before you don’t have to be an artist to get involved and help promote the arts in Summerland.
Helping with the Gift Gallery is perfect for anyone wanting to gain some retail experience.

This is the first week of Beauty and the Beast at Centre Stage Theatre and if you’ve never seen a high school drama production you’ve been missing great theatre.
