Inktober 2023

Are you ready to embrace the artistic spirit of October? Inktober is a creative challenge initiated by artist Jake Parker in 2009. What started as a form of practice to improve his own inking skills, has since become a global phenomenon. Each year, artists worldwide eagerly anticipate the arrival of October to take part in this unique event. The concept is simple yet exciting: it starts with a list of prompts, one for each day in October. Artists use ink to bring to life these daily prompts that encapsulate the essence of October, from spooky and scary to cute and cozy. Everyone shares their creations on social media using the hashtag #Inktober. Search the hashtag on instagram to see a vibrant online gallery of Inktober artwork.

Here at the Quesnel Art Gallery, Inktober excites us and ignites a creative spark! So we want to invite our local artists to join in the journey. We'll be sharing the official Inktober prompt list, and we're adding our unique touch to the challenge. To foster community and creativity, we'll be using our very own hashtag, #QuesnelInktober. We hope all artists, regardless of experience, will participate and show off their Inktober drawings.

But that's not all! We're taking Inktober to the streets of Quesnel. Our beloved Little Free Art Galleries will be hosting a special Inktober edition. Spooky surprises and fantastical artworks will pop up all October. Follow us on social media to be the first to find out what curios creations you can collect.

Local artists are invited to contribute their Inktober drawings to these community art spaces. It's a chance to share your work with fellow artists and bring the joy of art to our town. So, get your ink ready, embrace the daily prompts, and let your imagination run wild this Inktober. Let's fill our Little Free Art Galleries with the spirit of #QuesnelInktober.

NEW MURALS Bring Life to blank walls

Two stunning new murals have been completed Downtown, thanks to the efforts of talented local artists. These large-scale creations are not only visually captivating but also reflective of the community's pride and creativity. Let's take a journey through these beautiful murals that add a touch of artistry to our town.

A hidden gem awaiting art enthusiasts, the Quesnel Mural Group's incredible sunflower scene. Made possible by the hard work and creativity from artists Maureen Wheeler and Keith Prestone. This Downtown masterpiece can be found a few feet from the post office, nestled between two buildings on the 300 block of Reid Street. A bright sunflower scene, adorned with intricate details and wildlife that brings the green field to life. The painted fence posts add an extra touch of realism, making you feel like you're stepping into a sunflower oasis. This mural is a testament to the beauty of nature and the collective creativity of our community. This breathtaking landscape is the first of many we will see from the Quesnel Mural Group.

Artist Lee-Anne Chisolm has completed yet another impressive mural. The Child Development Centre on the 400 block of Mclean Street offered a uniquely shaped west-facing wall. Thanks to the creativity of Lee-Anne, this wall now features an awe-inspiring depiction of the place where the two rivers meet. Shimmering balloons dance in the sky, representing the joyful spirit of our city. The words "Welcome" and "Dahooja'' invite all to embrace the harmony of our community. Lee-Anne's mural captures the essence of Quesnel's connection to its rivers and the spirit of unity.

These newly completed murals showcase the immense talent residing within our city. The artists' dedication to their craft shines through, adding splashes of color and creativity to our town's landscape. As you stroll through Quesnel, make sure to take a moment to admire the murals and immerse yourself in the stories they tell. These murals not only serve as a testament to the creativity and skill of our local artists but also as a symbol of community pride. They reflect the shared love for our town, its natural beauty, and the things that bring us together.

The completion of these two murals is a cause for celebration, a testament to the flourishing artistic spirit in our town. We extend our gratitude to the Quesnel Mural Group and artist Lee-Anne Chisolm for bringing their visions to life on these city walls. These murals will serve as a timeless reminder of our vibrant artistic community and the shared beauty of Quesnel.
