The 13th annual ­Fernwood Art Stroll ­artists are looking ­forward to the new dates of the stroll – September 4th & 5th from 11am to 4pm

›› Jo Vipond

The Fernwood Art Stroll is back after a long 16 months and last year’s art stroll being cancelled.

The artists will be opening their respective studios and will give the public an opportunity to enjoy a leisurely walk through one of Victoria’s oldest heritage neighbourhoods and meet the artists in residence. Come enjoy the ambience of what Fernwood has to offer including our cafes, bistro, pub, and shops.

The art studios will be open to the public and you will see a variety of talents including paintings, photography, glass jewellery, storytelling and poetry, handwoven textiles, printmaking, whimsical wooden sculptures, creative recycling, and woven seaweed baskets.

There are pamphlets with maps attached in shops around Victoria or you can go to fernwoodartstroll.ca for information. Look for white signs that will mark artists’ houses.

COVID-19 protocols will be displayed and all artists will have protocols in effect as per the government issued directive for September 2021.
