   11am - 4pm May 30 & 31 
   Again this year, a group of artists and creatives in the greater Fernwood area are opening their studios, homes and gardens to visitors.  This year there are 20 locations in both Fernwood and Oaklands, featuring more than two dozen artists showing a wide variety of local art. There will be paintings, both abstract and realistic, ceramics, jewelry, garden art, printmaking, photography and collage. There’s even a roaming storyteller.
   Since its beginning in 2008, this free, family-friendly event has welcomed guests who want to see and possibly purchase art of a variety of types. Visitors can enjoy strolling leafy streets, many with heritage homes and gardens, and exploring back yard studios and gardens full of art in one of the oldest parts of Victoria.
   Brochures are being distributed to local businesses and stores around town with a detailed map of the venues and details about the participating artists.
   Some artists also offer activities for families with children, and many of the locations are wheelchair accessible.  Visitors can stroll the neighbourhood, enjoy food and beverages in Fernwood’s cafes and bistros, and view or purchase a wide variety of art at reasonable prices. 
   As an added bonus this year, the Fernwood Art Stroll is collaborating with the Fernwood Cat Walk, who's event is on Saturday, May 30th. Some of the Art Stroll participants are showing their cats as well was their art.
   An online map and information about participants in the 2025 Fernwood Art Stroll can be downloaded at www.fernwoodartstroll.ca

   Sights and Sounds

   
   

   October 25, 2026 01:00 AM      03:00 AM

   Long before it was a gallery, the house at 1040 Moss Street was a home where evenings were given over to music. The AGGV picks that thread back up with the launch of a new evening concert series, Sights and Sounds. Join us for the debut edition featuring the music of TK The Artist and Raynor Bell. 
    
   Doors open early, so come and spend time with the exhibitions before the music starts. The bar, sponsored by Hoyne Brewing and Vessel Liquor, is open all evening. Seating is limited and unreserved.

   Three Victoria artists present Writ Large - Contemporary Works on Paper
   
   Three Victoria artists draw on their pasts as professional writers and editors to exhibit a collection of large-format works inspired by the emotional and intellectual energy of written language.
   Georgina Montgomery, Louise Oborne, and MaryLou Wakefield use words and text as part of their visual language to amplify a compelling idea, question, or life experience personally meaningful to them.
   In this series, the artists demonstrate their individual stylistic approaches to interpreting 'Writ Large' and invite viewers to find their own meaning and interpretation in the works.
   Writ Large will be on at arc.hive artist run centre October 4 - 19 and open for viewing Saturdays and Sundays from 12 - 4 pm.
   An opening reception with the artists in attendance will be on Friday, October 3, from 7 - 9 pm.
