Exhibition opening with Artist in Attendance Friday January 20th at 7:00pm. Artist Talk Saturday January 21st at 1:00pm.

It is with great pleasure that we once again partner with the Toni Onley Artist Project and Island Mountain Arts located in the community of Wells, BC. to provide an exhibition opportunity for an emerging artist. This past summer, mentors Harold Klunder of Montreal and Libby Hague of Toronto selected Caroline Anders to be this year's exhibiting artist. When asked why they selected Caroline's work, Harold Klunder wrote: "The work that Caroline created while she participated in the Toni Onley Artist Project progressed from day one, initially with some hesitancy, but then quickly gained a quiet confidence and a certain charm, a personality. She works very hard and is committed to doing her work her own way. Given the right circumstances and some moral support, I think we are just seeing the beginning of her capabilities. I believe strongly that she is a born painter with lots to say. She needs to go into herself as well as look to the history of painting for solace, strength and confidence. She wants nothing else ‘than to paint more and more this show will provide her with an opportunity to do just that and then see her own work presented in a gallery context".
