    Pen & Ink
    Opening: Friday, January 6th,  4:45pm to 7pm
    Cara Graden is the person we deal with when arranging for the Spring D-SLR course KPAC members have been giving for a number of years. Funds have helped KPAC buy the projector, laptop and software so do say hello to Cara and mention you’re from KPAC.  Also take a look at the gallery itself and figure out where you’d like to hang one of your pictures as plans are in the works for our Club to have an exhibit in the Spring of 2013.

    The second exhibition opening is Friday the 13th of January at 6:30 also in the Old Courthouse when Arnica, the Artist Run Centre presents the works of acclaimed Vancouver photographer Marc Koegal.
    After the constructive feedback from our 5 judges last night the value of a practised eye is very evident. Take your eyes along to these exhibitions and give them a workout. Talk to the artists too!
