Did you know that art is a powerful resource for mental and physical well-being?
In ‘Your Brain on Art: How the Arts Transform Us,’ researchers Magsamen from Johns Hopkins University and Ivy Ross provide scientific proof of how our brains and bodies are transformed not only when we create art but also by simply participating in an art experience, such as visiting an art gallery.
If that wasn’t enough incentive to visit the Summer Showcase art show at Gallery 1710 in Tsawwassen, you’ll discover that it is more than just an exhibition.
The show celebrates the artistic talents of the South Delta Artists Guild and beyond. These paintings, originally submitted to a juried show, represent the best of the best, curated to offer an unforgettable experience to all visitors.
The showcase features nearly 110 fabulous artworks spanning a wide range of mediums and styles. Each piece reflects the unique technique of its creator.
Whether you are drawn to the meticulous detail of hyperrealism, the expressive brush strokes of impressionism, or the vibrant spontaneity of abstract art, you’ll find plenty to admire.
Beyond 2-D works, the Summer Showcase also boasts an impressive collection of 3-D artworks. You’ll discover sculptures crafted from stone, felt, wood, and polymer clay — all inviting the viewer to explore form and texture in new and exciting ways.
Whether you’re a seasoned art collector, a lover of visual art, or someone looking for a fun and inspiring outing with friends and family, the Summer Showcase promises to be a worthwhile and memorable stop.
Take this opportunity to support the arts, celebrate creativity—and yes, enhance your overall well-being! The show is currently on at Gallery 1710 (1710 56th Street), open every Friday to Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. until July 28.
