South Hollow Gallery welcomes Comox Valley artists Arlene McLeod and Roberta Meilleur as on-site guest artists for Local Colours and Market Days July 15 and 16 in downtown Courtenay.

Arlene McLeod is well known locally for her vibrantly colourful abstract acrylic paintings which seem to embody the energy fields that surround us.

McLeod will be present Friday and Saturday demonstrating new creative ideas to add unique textures and colours to paintings using specialty papers. She is a founding member of the popular biannual Originals Only art event.

Meilleur is renowned for her uniquely beautiful revisioned metal and glass crystal creations. Skillfully fashioned from discarded rusty metal and vintage crystals, Roberta’s sculptures and window hangings celebrate how old materials can be used in innovative and artistic ways.

She is a founding member of the Tin Town Artists collective and will demonstrate onsite Saturday afternoon.

South Hollow Gallery is located at 218 Fifth St. in downtown Courtenay.
