View sketches drawn by Bruce Black (killed in action in 1944) and the paintings created by his niece, Lynda Manson, who was inspired by his work. She will guide you through the story behind the creation of this exhibition. Purchase tickets ($10) and/or an illustrated Tracing Footsteps digital book ($10). All proceeds donated to the Canadian Federation of University Women Sunshine Coast Bursary Society. This society awards bursaries to Sunshine Coast women who wish to further their education.

Virtual ART ROAD TRIP with Marlene Lowden
We invite friends, colleagues or family members to join us for this three part video series. Use a long weekend road trip with your BFF as a metaphor for this online art adventure. There are 3 parts, each part invites companions to work together and support each other to create art studies. The exercises will push everyone a little out of their comfort zones and if they are practicing artists, out of their normal mediums. Don’t worry if you’re a beginner, this is for your too! We suggest that you and your art buddy do the exercises over the course of 3 days.
