Artists On Main Osoyoos opened their annual show at The Art Gallery Osoyoos on Thursday, Oct. 7. “Big, Little, and Just Right” runs until Saturday, Oct. 30, 2021.

The group, consisting mainly of local painters, has been a part of the Osoyoos arts scene since 1950. They welcome both accomplished artists and those who are newer to painting and wish to improve. They meet at Studio 89 above the gallery and have about 70 members.

While the majority works with acrylic, many work with oils, watercolours and other types of paint and mixed media.

The gallery is open Tuesday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Covid precautions are in effect.

It is located at 8713 Main St. in Osoyoos, B.C., just west of Town Hall.
