The Community Arts Council of Alberni Valley is thrilled to present the "Iconic Alberni" exhibit, a unique celebration of our community’s rich heritage and natural beauty in support of the Arrowsmith Rotary. Held at the Grove Gallery, this exhibit invites local artists and CAC members to submit artwork featuring iconic local landmarks and images such as water bombers, Mount Arrowsmith, McLean Mill, etc.
Artists are invited to submit original artworks featuring local landmarks, using either personal or public domain images. This initiative, aimed at capturing the essence of Port Alberni and the Alberni Valley, not only showcases local talent but also supports the Arrowsmith Rotary through a creative fundraising effort. The most representative artwork will be selected through a community vote and transformed into a puzzle. The chosen artwork will earn the artist a $500 award, and the puzzle will be sold to raise funds for Rotary projects. This approach merges artistic expression with community support in a meaningful way.
DETAILS:
- We ask for an exhibit fee of $10/piece. A collection or series of pieces can be considered one piece, please email us if you would like clarification at info@alberniarts.com
- Works to be hung on the wall must be framed with a one-point hanging system using wire from the stretcher frame or the picture frame. Wire must be tight and placed low enough to allow for the hanging system to be hidden behind the work. Sculptures will be placed on plinths or on the floor of the gallery, as required. Works that require hanging/installation outside of this standard will require additional planning, documentation and assistance which will need to be discussed prior to acceptance.
- All works must be delivered to the Gallery on Friday and Saturday January 31st and February 1st clearly labeled with artist name, title, date, medium and retail price. The Grove Gallery will retain 35% of the retail price, so please keep that in mind when pricing your work.

- All work must be original. The Gallery may use photos of the exhibit to use for promotional purposes.
