ART IN THE PINES
Our beloved Art in the Orchard is coming together with Mosaic Festival to offer a two day art show and sale in the beautiful pine forest with live music in the background.
Art in the Pines is happening Saturday and Sunday from 2-7pm.
A note from Ptarmigan Arts about Art in the Pines:
For the past almost ten years, Pender Islanders and summer visitors have enjoyed one of the island’s most idyllic art shows and sales of the year: Art in the Orchard at the iconic Corbett House. Hosted by Eve and John Pollard and coordinated by Margaret Alpen, the show saw over 30 artists fill the orchard every year with pottery, weaving, paintings, stained glass, textile art, woodworking, sculpture and more, serenaded by live, local music throughout the day.
Last year’s event was one of the biggest and most successful in Art in the Orchard’s history, leaving artists and guests alike with a feeling of community, celebration, and togetherness. However, logistical challenges have proved difficult to overcome in recent years, and organizers took time this fall to figure out what Art in the Orchard might look like going forward.
The Ptarmigan team, together with Eve, John and Margaret, have decided to merge Art in the Orchard with Mosaic Festival, which happens on the August long weekend in the beautiful pine forest behind the Community Hall. Art in the Pines will be the new iteration of this iconic event, still tucked amongst the trees, still serenaded by live music through the afternoon, but with the infrastructure and volunteer support that Mosaic Festival can provide.
We know we can’t replicate the magic of Art in the Orchard in a new location, but we will do our best to make this a seamless transition and a wonderful new experience for all the artists and festival attendees.
