FCA Victoria Face to Face - Live Portrait Painting
OCTOBER 4, 2026, 1:00 - 3:00PM
Maybe we should have quit while we were aHEAD. But let’s FACE the facts. Our FACE-TO-FACE event last year was a lot of fun and we wanted to do it again.
Watch artists Cove Silas, Clement Kwan, Mel Williamson and MC Gord Smith as three portraits develop from blank canvas to finished portrait.
Be sure to join us on October 4, 1 to 3pm at the Goldfinch Arts Centre and learn about the challenges and triumphs of portrait painting and, with any luck, a portrait that looks like Jack!
Everyone is welcome at Face-to-Face! Seating is limited, so arrive early to ensure a seat.

JDF Art Space
ONGOING 2026
Our JDF (Juan deFuca Art Space) showcases many of our member Artists art work. This continuous Art Show is featured courtesy of West Shore Parks & Recreation near the Main entrance of the Recreation Facility.
All art work is available for sale by contacting the artist. On a quarterly basis the show is re created with new artists work and continuing artists with new work.
We hope you will come and see the beautiful art in this space!

Poetry Station
Our “Poetry Station” has had a make-over!
It features our local Royal Bay High School students’ poetry rotating on a quarterly basis. Persons visiting the Station can also hear the poems read to them using a QR Code system.
We thank the City of Colwood for the Create Places grant to make this possible and we also thank Royal Bay High School English Department for the value they have placed on sharing students poetry with the public.
Plan to stop by the Station and enjoy the colorful poetry!
The location of the Poetry Station placement in Royal Bay is at the intersection of Ryder Hesjedal Road and Murry’s Pond trail system.
