THE 2019 FERNWOOD ART STROLL
The 12th annual Fernwood Art Stroll will take place on Saturday June 8th and Sunday June 9th from 11 am to 4 pm.
Fernwood makers and artists will be opening their studios to exhibit and sell their art. Visitors will enjoy this opportunity to see artwork in artists’ gardens, studios and workshops, making the event an enjoyable multi-faceted experience.
This year’s stroll will feature painters, sculptors, photographers, calligraphers, illustrators, carvers of wood and stone and makers of furniture and baskets. The Pandora Arts Collective, at 1923 Fernwood, will host an interactive site for children and families. There will be something unique and handmade for everyone.
This event is an opportunity to meet and support local artists. Please invite your friends, family and colleagues to join in. While touring the neighbourhood you can also enjoy the hospitality of the local businesses in the Fernwood square and Haultain corners: cafes, pubs and bistros, and the many unique shops.
The event carries on rain or shine. This is a chance for Victorians to meet local artists and designers. It is also an opportunity to walk or cycle around one of Victoria’s wonderful heritage neighborhoods when the gardens and streets are at their best.
For more information about this year’s featured artists and the map to find out where to find them go to: fernwoodartstroll.ca.
Mark your calendars…we hope to see you there!

The Civic Orchestra of Victoria
Brian Wismath, Music Director presents:
STRUM - Featuring Guitarists Celino Romero, Alexander Dunn, Randy Pile & Robert Ward (June 😎
Strum (June 8 features four world-renowned guitarists, including Alexander Dunn and Celino Romero, performing two monumental works for guitar(s) and orchestra by Joaquín Rodrigo. Rodrigo's powerful compositions are heavily influenced by Spanish Impressionism and Baroque musical styles. The Concierto Andaluz was commissioned by Caledonia Romero (founder of "The Royal Family of the Guitar" - Los Romeros), grandfather of Celino Romero who will be performing this work, providing an extraordinary opportunity to experience the legacy of the Romero family.
Romero and Dunn will be joined by Randy Pile and Robert Ward to perform Concierto Andaluz. Dunn will also perform Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez for solo guitar and orchestra.
"With Victoria having such a strong connection with internationally renowned guitarists, a unique opportunity presented itself to include Alexander Dunn and his long-time colleague, Celino Romero, as part of Civic Orchestra's Strumconcert. It was an obvious choice to feature two Rodrigo guitar concertos, one of which was written for the founder of Los Romeros." - Brian Wismath, Music Directorhttps://civicorchestraofvictoria.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0b248721603bd92491d4989ab&id=e62b692171&e=d780be76c4
