Hornby Arts' HerringFest Art Show is Back!
On Thursday, March 7th, the Hornby Arts’ HerringFest art show will kick off the 2024 HerringFest festivities! This famous community-inclusive exhibition will showcase marine-themed works of varied mediums and disciplines. The colours, textures, subject matter, and diversity of the pieces are sure to inspire!
We encourage all local artists to participate in this group show, and all art supporters to attend the opening (or to take the time to see the show). For more details regarding submitting artwork and/or viewing the show, please read on…
