PKAC Winter Potluck

On Monday, December 2nd,we had another enjoyable potluck with lots of tasty dishes to tempt our appetites. Maybe we should have prizes for the best entrée. There are some pretty good cooks in our club!

As we ate Rosemary Genberg told us some stories that got everyone laughing.

We also handed out door prizes from Opus and Michaels. There were eight in all. Winners received $40 or $20 gift cards from these establishments.

The boxes for the Food Bank did not take long to bulge at the sides with the nonperishable food items members brought. These items will be sent to the food bank this Thursday (December 5) by Sandra Cattermole.

All in all we had a nice gathering.

And now, all of us at the Port Kells Art Club wish you a very Merry Christmas!

2024 PKAC Fall Art Show and Sale

The PKAC Fall Exhibition and Sale is now history. The weather cooperated (mostly) and we welcomed many guests (including the caretaker of the Fort Langley Hall and city and township officials) who viewed the paintings, picked their favourites, entered the raffle and bought works of art and cards.

Reporter Dan Ferguson from the Aldergrove Star came by. His report and video including an interview of the sale organizer Gail Aitchison, can be viewed HERE.

Here are a few photos of the day (Photos by Pamela Orth)

People’s Choice Award

The painting voted a favourite by the most sale attendees this fall was “Waiting for Dinner” by Marlene Serdult. Congratulations Marlene!

Township 7 – Art in the Vines Artisan Market

Sunday, June 23 – 11 AM – 5 PM
Township 7 Winery
21152 – 16th Ave., (at 212th St.)
Langley, BC

Four of our artists (Pam, Carolyn, Bonita, and Marlene) will have a PKAC booth at this event. All are welcome to attend!

Pam reports:

It was a great day for the artisan market. Marlene, Carolyn, Bonnie and myself started the morning finding out that the Township 7 Winery lent us another tent. It was already up and all we had to do was place ours in front of theirs.

We were able to display all of our works People were able to enter and view the paintings without bumping into to one another. It was wonderful!!!

We did sell some cards and Bonnie sold a painting for four mystery novels. We each had a glass of wine and took in the crafts that the other venders had for sale.

There were 29 booths all together. Each varied from selling Chocolates to soaps to knitted items to flower bouquets. Our booth was the only one with paintings for sale. I handed out a few PKAC business cards to a few interested individuals. Might get some new members. All and all , at the end of the day, when asked if we would do this venue again, we all said, “Yes”!!!

Thanks for representing PKAC at the Art In the Vines Artisan Market – Pam, Carolyn, Marlene & Bonnie!

PKAC Paints Plein Air

We had lovely weather, cool but sunny, for our first plein air painting session Wednesday, June 5th.

Thanks so much to Rosemary, who welcomed nine of us to her property and invited us to explore the buildings, forests, and romantic corners with pencil, pen, charcoal, and paint. Rosemary also led us on a tour through her home and told the stories behind the many treasures she has collected on her rural property.

Thanks again, Rosemary, for hosting this fun day!

The food was delicious, the company splendid! We enter PKAC’s summer break well fed!

PKAC Spring Show and Sale

Another Port Kells Art Club show and sale is history. The art was beautiful. The spirits were high. The weather threatening and rainy, and so attendance was down a bit. Still, we had a great time getting to know each other better and interacting with art lovers from the community.

The people have spoken. Gail Aitchison’s painting “Elk on the Lookout” won the PKAC Spring Show and Sale People’s Choice Award! CONGRATULATIONS GAIL!

Thanks to all who came by, viewed the art, voted for their favourite, and bought paintings, raffle tickets, and cards. Hope to see you again in November! The date of the PKAC Fall Show and Sale will be announced soon.

Artists offered many beautiful cards and small items for sale.
