Visual artist Darrell Wyant, and his wife, Ruth Lofstrom, a potter, have opened an eclectic show at The Art Gallery Osoyoos (TAGO), which runs until Saturday, March 28.
There will be an opportunity to meet the artists on Friday, March 6 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the First Friday event. On the first Friday each month local galleries put on an open house where visitors can view the art, talk to artists, and in some cases enjoy refreshments and live music.
There are now eight participants: Best Cellars Bistro & Books; The Art Gallery Osoyoos; Artists on Main; The Osoyoos District Museum; Century 21 Pop-Up Art; Wayside Select Books & Art; The Okanagan Art Gallery; and Backroads Brewing.
Wyant paints with acrylic and oil on canvas and also works with sculptures and multimedia. He was born in Prince George, raised in the Lower Mainland, and now lives with his artist wife in Oliver.
Wyant has had a number of solo exhibitions on the Lower Mainland. The TAGO exhibition is his first foray back into exhibition life since he and his wife Ruth moved to the Okanagan.
Lofstrom grew up in Fernie and has been doing pottery on and off for the last 30 years. She is a member of the Osoyoos Potters and she enjoys working on the wheel as well as hand building.
The gallery is open non-summer hours, Tuesday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Admission is free, but donations are welcome.
It is located at 8713 Main St. in Osoyoos, B.C., just west of Town Hall.
