A LACEY pine needle bas-
ket by Cristal Kwateroski of
Saanichton is one of the
items to be auctioned
during the Victoria Art
Gallery's week-long Gar-
den Party.

GARDEN

Continued from Page A13

A unique donation is a concrete
garden statue of a Haida Indian,
created by sculptor Gary Webb of
Brentwood.

Peninsula businesses have also
been generous, Collins said, listing
a heritage bench donated by Sid-
ney’s Benchworks Manufacturing;
a balsam toucan bird from Snap-
dragon Nursery in Sidney; garden-
ing books from Tanners Book
Store in Sidney; a basket of garden
items from Brentwood Nurseries,
and a green patina ivy candlestick

and hand-painted taper from Sid- .

ney’s House Dressing Company.

As if that was not enough to
draw bids, Collins lists more temp-
tations: hand-turned wormwood
bowls, an oriental gazebo, twig
garden furniture, a rose arbor and
work by such as well-known artists
as Roy Vickers; Carole Sabiston,
Jack Shadbolt, Don Harvey and
Hilda Hale of the Asian Arts
Society.

Personally, Collins is enraptured
by a piece of textile art donated by

a Saltspring artist who spent two
months creating the piece.

Final bids on auction items will
be accepted at the Anything Goes
Soiree, a roaring 20s theme garden
party Feb. 29.

“It?s a musical feast and a
movable feast,’ Collins said.
Guests will start with music by the
Delta Jazz Band and
hors d’oeuvres at the Coast Vic-
toria Harbourside Hotel, then be
bused to the gallery for picnic fare
and entertainment by Louise Rose,
the Delegates of Dixieland and
two quartets from Oak Bay Secon-
dary.

Tickets for the soiree are $50 per
person or two for $80.

In addition to raising money,
Collins hopes the event will also
encourage people to visit the gal-
lery.

“We want to build an audience
for the gallery and to bring people
in to the gallery who don’t usually
come in,” she said.

For information on the event,
contact the art gallery at 361-
4101.
