Salt Spring Island Artists
|
| Salt Spring Island has long been known for the many artists that live and work here. A number of
art galleries have sprung up that show work by mostly local artists. See the
Business Listings for a list of some of Salt Spring Island art
galleries. In the coming weeks, information about some Island artists will be gathered and displayed on these
pages. Robert Bateman is perhaps one of the better known artists call Salt Spring Island home, and it was an
inquiry about Mr. Bateman that lead to the creation of the "artists" section on this site. |
