Tangerine Dream Gallery and Studio Grand Opening!


 GRAND OPENING FEBRUARY 14th!

Please join us for our grand opening, February 14th, 6-9 pm, at 1725 Cowichan Bay Road, Units B & C. You can find us down the lane to the right of True Grain Bread, next door to The Mudroom Clayworks. (Follow the music and laughter.) We know, it is Valentine's Day, and maybe you are off for a romantic meal somewhere with your sweetie, but please stop by on your way out - we will have some beverages and nibbly bits on offer, as well as walls full of beautiful paintings and other artwork to goggle at. You don't have to have a sweetie in tow - if you are solo come anyhow! Most of the exhibiting artists will be attending - please ask us for an introduction!

As you can see, Pipi and Lesley love the colours tangerine and aqua! The gallery, studio, and much of the artwork is vibrantly coloured, lively, and fun. At Tangerine Dream we believe "it's about art, not perfection." If you need to add a jolt of citrusy liveliness to your life - maybe you are in search of that special something; a unique piece of artwork, a cheerful mug or bowl to brighten your table, some luscious and completely unique tableware, a greeting card or one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry for you, a friend or loved one, - come on in. If you are in need of some stimulating conversation and a few belly laughs, a chance to explore your inner creativity, some big breaths of fresh sea air, or any old excuse that comes to mind, come to Tangerine Dream, and see what delights await.

Artists and artisans, if you have an idea for a class you would like to teach, let us know! We want Tangerine Dream to be a place where people gather to share ideas, create, and have fun. I inadvertently came up with our tagline today while discussing imperfectly shaped (and fabulous) bowls with Pipi Tustian and Susan Whitham - "We are not looking for perfect, we are looking for art." Leave your inner critic at home and come and play with us! Opening February 14th.
