COLOURFUL EXHIBIT Val Galvin opened up her studio Friday and Saturday at 10087 Chemainus Road with about 20 fibre artists gathering to make art from recycled fabric. A collection of hooked art called ‘RED FLAG! RED FLAG!’ was displayed. This exhibit was put together by more than 30 artists using recycled fabric as the medium and global warming/climate change as the theme. The exhibit will be shown again Aug. 10 at Waterwheel Park.
