Gather the flowers but spare the buds.   – Andrew Marvell

Bloom has been a highlight of Coast Collective’s open-call shows, and 2019 marks the 11^th year for this very popular event. It runs from March 13^th to March 31^st.

Nothing says ‘SPRING’ like flowers – from the humble dandelion, to the scented rose, to the colourful painted tongue – these artists will delight you with their varied interpretations in both 2-D and 3-D, including some unique pieces of metal sculpture.

Operated by the Society for Arts on the South Island (SASI), whose mission statement is to nurture British Columbia arts and culture … through the production and support of showcases of fine art and craft, the provision of arts education programs, public performances, and special community cultural events, Coast Collective is delighted to host this event.
