We marvel at the forms and colors within a lake or stream – calm and serene on a windless day or turbulent and unknowable in a storm. Water reflects the sky above, cools and refreshes us and is a primary source of life. It deserves our protection and respect, being vulnerable to carelessness. Here, in the Cariboo, we are fortunate to have many lakes and streams.

Come enjoy an artistic interpretation of this elusive entity, with works created by the Cariboo Artists Guild. The summer Cariboo Artists’ Guild show, with seventeen participants, offers a collection of new works by local artists in a variety of mediums: paint, oil, mosaic and drawings. As well as those depicting the theme of water, there will be a great diversity of other artworks.

Cariboo Artists Guild has been in this community for 46th years and the members share the interest of pursuing a deeper understanding and ability to create art, through workshops, to find opportunities for display and to experience community and friendship with like-minded persons. CAG (Cariboo Artists’ Guild) meets three seasons of the year to organize our activities and to display in an annual summer show and sale at Parkside Art Gallery.

Parkside Art Gallery is open five days a week, Tuesday through Saturday, and is staffed by local volunteers. The District of 100 Mile House contributes by donating the use of our Parkside Art Gallery space, which is operated by the South Cariboo Arts and Culture Society.
