Objective
The objective of the Island Originals shows is to provide visual artists, especially painters, illustrators, and sculptors with the opportunity to showcase their work in an environment where they can learn from each other and invite the general public to engage in a cultural experience.
We aim to create a tourism event where the public can purchase and learn about the fine art and fine artists in the Comox Valley.
The event is focused on artists who work with traditional mediums to produce two and three dimensional art in realistic, abstract, impressionistic, contemporary, expressionistic and modern styles.
