Campbell River: ‘Transformations on the Shore’ set for next week
Registration starts Tuesday for the 14th Annual ‘Transformations On The Shore‘ carving competition and organizers are expecting artists from across the country.
“It’s going to be an amazing event,” said Barb Sunday-Bitner, vice president of the Campbell River Shoreline Arts Society. “There are going to be close to 30 carvers and they’re coming from across Canada – from Ontario, Alberta and Manitoba as well as B.C.”
The contest takes place in Frank James Park in Willow Point. Registration is at 5 p.m. Tuesday and the competition begins Wednesday. The event wraps up Sunday, July 4 at 2 p.m. with the awards ceremony.
The carvers use chainsaws, mauls, grinders and chisels to create works of art in five short days. Their creations are then displayed throughout the community. Sunday-Bitner said the popular ‘Quick Carve’ competition is back this year from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sunday, July 4. Carvers get an hour to create a carving, which will be auctioned off at 3 p.m. that day.
