Buckhorn all about art over the weekend

- MARLYS KERKMAM kerkmam@gmail.com

The other show in town last weekend was held at St. Matthew-St. Aidan Anglican Church by the Buckhorn Artists Group.

This group of painters meets on the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month at the church, starting at 9 a.m., painting, socializin­g and having lunch.

The group exhibits its work at the same time as the Festival of the Arts. All members can exhibit. There were watercolou­rs, acrylics, oils, and pastels done of flowers, animals, pastels and landscapes. The entrance was free and the price of the painting went directly to the artist.
