31st Annual Members’ Exhibition (2013)

Once again, the Annual Members’ Show brought in a fascinating and varied selection of entries. The show ran from March 14th to April 19th at the Campbell River Art Gallery. The exhibition was, once again, sponsored by CR Lawyers – Shook, Wickham, Bishop and Field.

The opening night attracted more than 100 people, who gathered to see the jurors and local dignitaries present this year’s awards.

Awards of Excellence went to Martina Kowalchuk for her work ‘Big Rock’ and to Shannon McKirgan for her piece ‘Parcel #1357.’

The two Award of Excellence winners were presented with generous prizes from Impressions Art Supplies & Custom Framing and The Framing Post and Needle & Arts Centre.

Awards of Merit were presented to Kathryn Botsford (‘Antique Magic’), Loretta Busch (‘The Calm Before the Storm’), Judy Hilgemann (‘Shed Window’), Maureen Maryka (A River Runs Through It’), Ruth MacLaurin (‘Toponomy’) and Linda Walton (‘Stephen Harper’s Small Change’).

Honourable Mentions went to Frank Boas (‘Bubbles’), Sandra Chow (‘February Colour’), Catherine Martha Holmes (‘#46 Pomegranate’), Debbie Reusch (‘Magnolia Campbelliii Subsp. Mollicomata’), Jill Paris Rody (‘Still Waters of Evening’) and Jim Swift (‘Galaxy Series #9’).

The People’s Choice Award this year was a tie: Bob McLeod and Shannon Proctor-McLeod (Back Eddy) and Kathi Rudko (The Blue Dress)

Congratulations to all!
