   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.

   February 15, 2026 10:00 PM      February 16, 2026 12:00 AM

   For our February Family Sunday, discover the etchings and woodcuts of Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer in the AGGV exhibition Dangerous Beauty: The Prints of Albrecht Dürer.
   Learn how to make your own monogram, inspired by the artist’s distinctive monogram. Sketch a scene from a fairy tale, employing cross-hatching and stippling as Dürer did to create shadow and depth. In honour of Valentine’s Day, decorate cookies to share with those you love, using icing as a drawing medium to make images inspired by Dürer’s prints. Join us for an afternoon of fun and imagination!

   Tea With Wolfgang, February 15th 2026

   This annual event is a British high tea, which offers a choice of sweet and savory finger foods, tea and coffee, elegantly prepared and served by the Sooke Lionesses.
   The musical selections, all familiar and well-loved, and range from the dramatic to the sweetly lyrical and elegant – even a musical joke. Orchestra members Don Mayer, clarinet, and Michelle Cox, flute, will be the soloists.
   The event is a fundraiser for the orchestra and Lionesses.
   Concert is at 2:30 pm on Sunday, February 15th, at the Sooke Community Hall. It is a popular event and always sells out so buy your tickets soon. Tickets are available on Eventbrite or at Pharmasave in Sooke.
