   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

   The quest for the Holy Grail begins in Victoria with the North American tour of MONTY PYTHON’S SPAMALOT, on stage August 28-30, 2026 at the Royal Theatre. Audiences are invited to gallop into the theatre to enjoy a raucously entertaining ‘knight’ – from flying cows to killer rabbits, British royalty to French taunters, dancing girls, rubbery shrubbery, and of course, the Lady of the Lake, SPAMALOT features a collection of hilariously satirical songs, including “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life,” “The Song That Goes Like This,” “Brave Sir Robin” and more that have become beloved classics in the musical theatre canon. Lovingly pilfered from the classic film, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, the musical is filled with its distinctly British wit and comedic brilliance.

   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.
