Spring Show and Sale 2025
Our Spring Show and Sale was held on May 9th and 10th.
Another successful show.
Many friends and family members were present at this year's show, with lots of positive comments from our visitors.
These are some of the comments when asked what they liked about our show...
The location is great - lots of parking, right by the water and Seawalk, and easy to find.
The lighting was perfect - the gallery was well lit so it was easy to see the displays.
The people are so friendly - the artists were very approachable and friendly. Everyone was so polite.
The prices were very reasonable - paintings weren't over priced, and the tiny table had something for everyone.
We enjoy putting on the Spring Show. It gives us a chance to display our work, and to interact with the public.
North Cowichan Mayor Rob Douglas took in the show as well, and visited with many of the artists.

Our Spring Show People's Choice Award Winner
Claire Guillon
Claire Guillon
The Crofton Art Group has two art shows per year!
Spring and Fall.
Held at the Crofton Senior Centre in Crofton right on the waterfront.
With a wide spread of media: oils, watercolour, acrylics, mixed media, acrylic pours
and more there is a lot to look at and choose from.
Some of our members have broadened their skills to include pottery and jewelry.
As such, these works are included in our shows.
Artists produce sizes from "teeny tinies" to large works to fill that important space in your home.
And for the less adventurous there are some very unique cards available in singles
and packages to send to those special people in your lives
or simply frame for that special place in your home.
Shows are attended by the artists giving you a lovely opportunity to meet, talk about their inspirations and media used.
While we have provided biographies, on this website, for you to learn a bit about our members
there is nothing like meeting the artist in person.
