Arrowsmith FCA 2025 Spring Juried Exhibition – April 1st to 27th

The Arrowsmith Chapter of the Federation of Canadian Artists (FCA) proudly presents its annual Spring Juried Exhibition, hosted at the McMillan Arts Centre (133 McMillan St., Parksville, BC). This exceptional showcase celebrates the diverse talents of local artists and offers a unique opportunity to add to—or begin—your collection of original artwork.

This year is extra special as the Arrowsmith Chapter marks its 30th anniversary! For three decades, the chapter has been a vital hub for artistic excellence and appreciation. Join us in celebrating this milestone at the Opening Reception & Awards Presentation on Saturday, April 5, from 1–3 PM, where you can meet the artists and witness the unveiling of this year’s award-winning works.

As a visitor, you’ll also have the chance to cast your vote for the People’s Choice Award—a coveted honor decided by the public. By voting, you’ll be entered into a draw for an original painting donated by a member artist.

The Arrowsmith FCA Chapter hosts prestigious juried exhibitions featuring a dynamic range of styles from abstract to representational across various media, including watercolour, oil, acrylic, pastel, sculpture, and mixed media. Each piece is rigorously selected by a panel of three FCA Signature Members, ensuring a collection that exemplifies mastery of composition, colour, perspective, light, and technique.

We invite you to visit, explore, and be inspired—come say hello and immerse yourself in a celebration of creativity!
