A current art show in Kamloops includes works of several North Thompson artists, the majority of them from Barriere. Art Exposed opened Friday at the Old Courthouse Cultural Centre in downtown Kamloops and will run until March 19.
The exhibition has more than 200 works in all media from 140 artists.
The event, which began six years ago, is designed for artists to show their works to the public — and perhaps sell some as well — while competing for various awards and prizes.
For established and emerging artists, there are cash prizes — first place receives $100 and second place gets $50 in each category, and for both two-dimensional and three-dimensional works. The public and competing artists can also vote for their favourites, with the choice awards recipients receiving $50.
The cultural centre is open Tuesdays to Fridays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
