The artists in the Fairfield area of Victoria BC held their 9th Annual F.A.S.T on the 24th and 25th of April 2010. It was a successful event where interested art collectors and lovers were able to wander through numerous artists studios to take in and enjoy all of the talent found in just this one corner of Victoria!
It is obvious from all of the open studios that art is still alive and thriving in this great city! The Capital of BC is known for the artists and talents it has given to the world and this was a fun way for artists to see young and old enjoy their works! Each artist we encountered was more than willing to boast about their projects and provide stories of where different pieces came from.
Unfortunately, due to our busy schedules, we could not meet all the artists that created this event; however, we have had friends and other artists tell us tales of what was seen. What a great way for the arts to be represented and a fun way for others to experience it! Saturday was a bit dreary but Sunday shined through, giving people a great way to experience the arts for free.
Congratulations to the artists who pulled this together and an aknowledgement to all of the sponsors who made this weekend a success for all!
