Studio Tour comes to Homefront & The Finished Room


New location - #5, 2353 Bevan Ave., Sidney, BC
 Saanich Peninsula Studio Tour
Sat. & Sun. October 20-21
11 am to 4 pm both days

Homefront Ideas & The Finished Room are pleased to be providing a venue for 3 artists on the Saanich Peninsula Studio Tour this coming weekend, October 20th & 21st.  We will be open 11 to 4 pm both days for the tour featuring our 3 artists.  If you've already picked up a map, we are Studio #6 on the tour.

The showroom will be filled with canvas, glass & stone from our featured artists Jonathan Gleed, Craig Benson & Pauline Olesen. 

Craig Benson is a Master Artist in the Sidney Fine Art Show and you may have seen his latest piece at the show.  Craig works in wood, stone and has been producing limited edition bronzes of his work as well.  He focuses on marine life as his subject matter and is known for his attention to detail, bringing movement to the animals and fish.  

Jonathan Gleed's paintings will fill the showroom walls!  Our wall space is a bit limited at the new location, but Jonathan is up to the challenge and will be bringing all manner, subject and size of his paintings for the tour.  This will be his first time on the tour and we look forward to seeing our walls filled with beautiful paintings.

Pauline Olesen is a fused glass artist and you'll have seen her work in Homefront Ideas over the years.  Homefront was one of the first galleries to show her work.  She'll be bringing new pieces for the tour and jewelry which we aren't able to carry year round in the showroom.  Look for lighting, sculpture and humpback whales she tells us!

We look forward to the weekend and hope to see you out.  Sharon Turnbull of The Finished Room will be with the artists on Saturday and Kristy Palmer of Homefront Ideas on Sunday. 

There is parking in front of the store and our main floor is wheelchair accessible.  The Studio Tour flags will be flying!
