  • View Point Art Gallery – Art for Food Campaign
    I hope you have been keeping well. As you know Covid 19 has greatly impacted the Arts & Culture sector and we have been working tirelessly since our closure on March 15 to get the Gallery online. We now are excited to announce that our Online Shop is OPEN! Please go to our website, Viewpointartgallery.comto enter the Online Shop which proudly features all 60 of our fabulous artists in the Gallery with free local delivery or contact-free pick up service. We will gladly ship out artwork as well. 
    Along with the new Online Shop, the Gallery has started a campaign, Art for Food which also launched on May 1, 2020. Several artists and artisans at the Gallery have generously donated their work in efforts to raise money for Food Banks in the Kootenay area. The Gallery is waiving commission and covering all processing fees on these items, so that 100% of the funds raised goes directly to the Food Banks in the Kootenay Region. 
    Not sure what the upcoming months will bring, I can only hope things will turn around. I would greatly appreciate it if you could help promote the Gallery and our Art For Food Campaign.

     
    Sincerely,

    Carolyn Beck, B. Des.,

    Gallerist

    “There are no words to capture the loss Nova Scotia has suffered today. This is a devastating time for all communities affected across our province, ” Paul Wozney wrote.
    Nova Scotia is in mourning as the names of victims of a weekend mass killing begin to emerge. The victims include an RCMP officer, a teacher, two nurses, neighbours of the assailant and two correctional officers killed in their home. Investigators are continuing to piece together the mass killing, which saw a man who at one point donned a police uniform slay at least 18 people as he travelled across northern Nova Scotia over the weekend. Investigators have said the shooter, identified as 51-year-old Gabriel Wortman, was killed after police intercepted him at a gas station in Enfield, N.S. Chief Insp. Chris Leather said the killings appeared to be, “at least in part, very random in nature.” Police have so far only identified the RCMP officer killed in the attack, but family and friends are beginning to identify the rest of the victims on social media. Here’s what we know so far about the lives lost in one of the deadliest killing sprees in Canadian history.
