The TD Art Gallery Paint-In has accrued 80 volunteers and 160 artists for Saturday’s edition — both personal bests for the beloved art stroll, which spans 10 blocks of Moss Street, from Fort Street to Dallas Road on Saturday.
When: 10 a.m.-6 p.m. ; 11 a.m-4 p.m. The TD Art Gallery Paint-In has been among the biggest events on Vancouver Island for many of its 34 years, and is now up to 30,000 attendees annually.
“Last year was the first one post-COVID, and the response was incredible,” said Nancy Noble, director and CEO of the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria. “This year is even more incredible.” Noble didn’t notice the difference. It was all new territory for the Saskatchewan-born executive, who started her tenure with the gallery in June of last year — five weeks before the massive outdoor event got underway. “I was definitely a newbie,” she said with a laugh.Victoria abstract painter Candis Zimmerman took part in the event last year, and is back for her third appearance on Saturday.
Artists will showcase their work on Moss Street from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. on Saturday. The Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, located at 1040 Moss St., is the central hub for the event, and is open from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m, with admission by donation. Noble said staff and volunteers will be soliciting feedback on the strategic planning process for the AGGV, which includes a new purpose-built building for the gallery.
