Welcome back after a two year hiatus! The Art Gallery of Greater Victoria is looking for your help to make Victoria’s favourite art event even bigger and better than ever!
We’re talking about the much-anticipated TD Art Gallery Paint-In, of course, which will return for its 33rd year next month.
One of Victoria’s most beloved festivals, it all goes down on Saturday, July 16th, drawing over 30,000 visitors!
For one day only, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., artists will line up along Moss Street—from Fort Street all the way to Dallas Road—to demonstrate their craft and share their work with the community.
Celebrate up to 150 local artists and enjoy community, arts-based groups transforming Moss Street into a colourful art gallery.
Under the sun, you’ll be able to explore your love of art with friends and neighbours, connect with local artists as they demonstrate their craft, and stop at the Imagination Stations for art-inspired activities.
You’ll even have the chance to taste local eats and drinks at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria grounds at 1040 Moss Street.
There’s also local music and performances PLUS a family-friendly beer garden, open until 6 p.m.
