This is a group show from Flying Colours and Print Artists North Members. Seven reference photos were selected  by members from which artists will create their own versions using a wide variety of media. The results create a diverse selection of unique artwork to delight viewers.

Print Artists North participated in a PRINTMAKING EXTRAVAGANZA in the North Peace Cultural Centre today. Artists pulled large prints with the help of steam roller, demonstrated a variety of printmaking processes to the public and facilitated kids and adults printmaking sampling.

Print Artists North joined the Artwork at Whole Wheat & Honey for the opening of our first Mini Print Show and Exchange with the theme of Our Home and Native Land. The public enjoyed the displays while sampling a variety of luscious desserts and talking with the artists. This event coincided with BRIGHT NIGHTS at the North Peace Cultural Centre and the opening of the Peace River Chapter of the Federation of Canadian Artists Exhibition, My Home and Native Land. It was an exciting night for the arts and art appreciators!

The show will travel throughout the Peace Region of BC and Alberta throughout the summer and culminates with a print exchange among the participating artists.
