91原创 Arts Council鈥檚 (LAC) latest exhibition, Incognito, incorporates a bit of suspense and mystery for painting collectors looking for a new decoration for their wall.
The current gallery, which runs from now until Jan. 6, is up for sale 鈥� but artists names will not be displayed upfront.
Ranging in themes and inspiration, Amy Dyck, LAC鈥檚 office manager, said the Incognito idea is meant to be a fun exploration that separates any prior association of an artist鈥檚 name from the work.
鈥淎 lot of art organizations run this type of event,鈥� Dyck explained. 鈥淥urs are all 10 x 10鈥檚 with no name on them; it鈥檚 all about the art and what you like 鈥� it doesn鈥檛 matter who painted it.鈥�
The artwork is currently being showcased at the Township of 91原创 Civic Facility reception area, 20338 65 Ave.
Interested buyers can contact Dyck by calling 604-534-0781 if they wish to purchase a painting.
Once it鈥檚 in the buyer鈥檚 hands, the artist鈥檚 name will be listed on the back of the work as a surprise.
鈥漌e鈥檝e had over 60 submissions, which is almost three times the amount of submissions in the past,鈥� Dyck said, attributing the successful year to the growing LAC team.
鈥漌e had a really great response from people in 91原创 and got submissions from all over B.C.,鈥� she continued.
An opening reception was held on Friday, Nov. 8, where roughly 40 people came to mingle and observe the art, including City Mayor Val van der Broek and Township Mayor Jack Froese.
Money raised from the exhibition will be split 50/50, with half going to the artist and half going to LAC to continue to fund classes and artistic initiatives in the community.
