FCA-COC Monthly Meetings

Our next meeting is on Saturday, November 7th at 1:00 pm at the Rotary Centre for the Arts in the Painting Room.
 
We recommend parking in the Library Parkade.

After a short business meeting Sharon McCoubrey will be doing a critique of members' paintings.

Bring a painting to the meeting to participate in the critique and get valuable insights from Sharon. Her name may be familiar to you as she has been the Chairperson for the Lake Country Art Walk for 29 years!

Dr. Sharon McCoubrey is Professor Emeritus at UBC, following a career in the Faculty of Education with a specialization in art education. During her work at the university, Sharon completed research in the areas of art education, art and well-being, intergenerational learning, aboriginal learning, and public art.  She has written art education resource books, and has been acknowledged for her work in art education and community arts through a number of awards. 

Sharon’s work in community arts includes volunteering for numerous organizations, including the Arts Council of the Central Okanagan, the Lake Country Arts Council, Okanagan Arts Awards, the Insight Team for ArtsBC, and the Central Okanagan Foundation.  Currently, Sharon’s volunteering includes serving as President of the Lake Country Art Gallery, Chair of the Lake Country Public Art Commission, and is in her 29th year as Chairperson of the Lake Country ArtWalk festival.  

Any additional time in her retirement schedule is filled with gardening, cycling, knitting for her granddaughter, spending a bit of time in her studio, and with her husband Bob, enjoying their lake views.
