Go to the Forms page NOFCA Exhibition # 2 September: Armstrong and Spallumcheen Art Gallery (ASMAS) Theme – “Let There be Light”, non-juried. The exhibition will feature paintings that encompass light. The phrase “Let There be Light” has been around for centuries, whether taken literally or metaphorically it offers a wide range or ways for artists to visually present light in interesting, exciting and engaging ways. Light taken literally is visible light, which is visible to the human eye and is responsible for the sense of sight, it is emitted, absorbed and reflected from its source, the natural source of the Sun or Moon or from a wide range of human sources of light from primitive campfires to modern electric lights. Light enhances everything it touches affecting emotion and memories, the sense of calm when we see light filtered through the branches of a tree, captured on a child’s face, brilliantly reflected off a pond, in a startling sunset or sparking campfire, these sights affect us and the options to capture light in a painting are endless. At the Armstrong Gallery we’ve been given every wall in the gallery to display our paintings, with no size restriction, two paintings/artist...so please paint, paint, paint! We've also been asked to involve the public in some art-related way in September, with demonstrations, artists’ talks, etc., and your involvement would be appreciated. Date TBA - Thank you!

NOFCA Exhibition #3 - Juried by the FCA Cash Prizes for the top six paintings, First, Second, Third and three Awards of Excellence. Vernon Public Art Gallery (VPAG), October 13-December 21, 2016. . Theme: “Diversity”, in broader terms. Note: When we identified “Diversity” as a working title for this exhibition, in discussion with the VPAG curator we see it as an umbrella expression for a group exhibition where each artist’s research and interest in conveying visual information differ; and it is this ‘diversity’ of approach that unifies the exhibition and further reflects the definition of ‘diversity’: the quality or state of having many different forms, types, ideas, etc. This is a perfect opportunity for artists to produce new work which addresses ‘diversity’ from many points of view, working in their preferred medium, conveying their concept and approach in their Artist Statement. Maximum Number of paintings/artist: Two. No Entry Fee. Size restriction: Maximum 40” on the longest side. By Wednesday, September 21st, we need two things. 1) The Title, Medium, Size (HxW), Your name and the Price of the painting(s) you’ll be exhibiting in the show to marwest2@gmail.com. This information will be on a label by your painting(s). Example: A Few Small Nips Oil 15 x 19 Frida Kahlo Price 2) As well, send with your painting(s) details a one-page Artist Statement explaining What your painting is about, how it was created (and why in that particular medium), and within what context it was created. 500 words max.
