Two local artists are joining forces once again to help support the Alzheimer Society of British Columbia.
Wendy Mould and Audrey Bakewell are hosting their Paints n’ Bloom Art Show and Sale Nov. 23 to 25 at GardenWorks at Mandeville.
This is the seventh year and the 14th art show that the two have hosted to raise money for the Alzheimer Society and to help create awareness of support available in the community.
The two have chosen to support the society because both have had immediate family members affected by Alzheimer’s.
“They have experienced the effects of the disease on both the family and love one,” a press release says. “They understand the difficulty of finding your way through the maze of community support, and so they always have an information table at their shows.”
Along with the art show, which is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily, the two also host workshops leading up to the show.
On Wednesday, Nov. 22, you can take part in a beginner watercolour class from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. It costs $35, including supplies. The same day, there’s also a Christmas card class in the afternoon, 3:30 to 5:30p.m. It also costs $35, supplies included. You can pre-register for either class by calling Wendy at 604-314-2232.
GardenWorks at Mandeville is at 4746 Marine Dr., Burnaby. Visitors to the show can also check out GardenWorks’ flowers, plants and décor, or enjoy brunch or lunch at the on-site Willows Café.
