The Nicola Valley Arts Gallery held a reception for their latest Community Art Show, The Art of Clothing, on Friday, Aug. 6.
On hand were beautiful handmade clothes, such as a woven wool and felted vest, as well as embellished clothing including a jacket bedazzled by resident summer student, Karianne Kroeker and hand-painted garments that took everyday wearables into the realm of fashion art.
Special musical guest, singer songwriter Richard Lepinsky, entertained attendees with his ukulele and a mix of original and cover songs.
The show will run until Sept. 5.
