Surf Art Show

The theatres have been sold out in town for the past couple of days as the surfing community eats up the 2nd annual Canadian Surf Film Festival. There is a whole lot of cinema stoke floating around, mixed with the anticipation of a potentially solid incoming swell.

Meanwhile, the annual Surf Art Show is having its opening weekend at Laughleton Gallery, my good friends John and Judith Brannen's somewhat hidden gem. It is my favourite annual event in our little surf community. Surfers making art. Artists, who may have never ridden a wave in their lives, making sea and surf oriented art. It is a humble and beautiful celebration of creativity and life by and in the sea. So many of the pieces are stunning this year. There is a lot of whimsy as well, which the surf world could often use a bit more of. The show is hosted in Judith's gallery, where she spends her days creating beautiful and meditatively representative pieces of Eastern Shore art. As always, Propeller John has supplied a couple of kegs of hoppy goodness.

The beer is only there for this weekend, but the show runs until the end of October. Go see what some of your mates can create when not wrapped in neoprene.
