Garth Homer Society ArtWorks Program Shines at Oak Bay’s Pop-Up Piano Concerts

The vibrant spirit of the Garth Homer Society’s ArtWorks program is back again in the community, as our talented artists have contributed a beautifully painted piano to Oak Bay’s popular “Arts Alive” program. This initiative brings music and art directly to public spaces, featuring pianos decorated by local artists for everyone to enjoy.

The Garth Homer Society’s involvement marks their first entry into this cherished municipal program. Dedicated artists from the ArtWorks program collaboratively transformed an 1896 piano, infusing it with an Art Nouveau style inspired by natural elements like botanicals and animals. This unique piece, described as a “Symphony of Us,” showcases 17 distinct artistic approaches unified by a common palette and features hidden “easter egg” surprises from each artist.

The community has the chance to see and hear this incredible work of art at various pop-up piano concerts across Oak Bay. These events provide a wonderful opportunity to experience the creativity and dedication of the Garth Homer Society artists firsthand.
