   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

   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.

   For Miles Davis’s 100th anniversary, Montreal trumpeter Ron Di Lauro brings a masterful tribute to Kind of Blue, the landmark recording by Miles Davis that forever reshaped modern jazz. A seasoned performer and educator with decades of experience, Di Lauro has appeared on numerous Canadian jazz recordings and is celebrated for his warm tone and lyrical phrasing. This special project revisits the modal innovations and atmospheric interplay that made Kind of Blue iconic. Di Lauro has previously performed in Victoria, though this marks his first TD JazzFest presentation of the full album concept. Backed by an all-star Canadian ensemble, he honours the historic recording without imitation. For jazz lovers, this concert offers a rare opportunity to hear one of the most important albums in jazz history reimagined live. Join TD JazzFest in celebrating a timeless masterpiece. Martin Auguste drums, Jean-Pierre Zanella saxophones, Ira Coleman bass, Taurey Butler piano
