Art is LIVE on Saturna Island!

 A magical little island at the southern-most tip of the Gulf Islands, Saturna Island hosts
 a surprising variety of artists. Finally, after the many restrictions imposed by the Corona pandemic,   Saturna's artists are here to invite you to see art LIVE! 

 Art Saturna artists have opened their studios for visits, along with a number of
 art events that are happening this summer. These include the multi-island Tour des Îles 
 on June 24-26 and the local Saturna Art Tour on July 30-31. As well, the local art
 featured at the Art Show at the Saturna  Café beside the Saturna General Store 
 is always a treat that changes monthly. 

 Here's a peek from the Saturna Art Tour brochure, for a start.
