Vancouver’s YWCA Hotel hosts 2010 sport-themed art exhibit
YWCA Hotel hosts 2010 sport-themed art exhibit
In conjunction with the 2010 Olympics, the YWCA Hotel will be hosting an art exhibit of sport-themed paintings created by renowned local artist Ken WESMAN. Called “We Rockâ€, the exhibit runs from February 6 to 28, 2010, and paintings available for sale will feature winter sports like hockey and skiing.
As a longtime supporter of the YWCA, WESMAN is donating half of the proceeds from the exhibit to YWCA community programs and services.
“I have in one way or another always been involved with the Y. It is sort of my second home,†says WESMAN. “The YWCA has so much good to offer and now it’s time for me to give back with my sport art.â€
WESMAN also has a long history with the Olympic Games – he was asked to create seven official images for the 1988 Olympic Winter Games in Calgary, and produced images later that year for the Olympic Summer Games in Seoul. Each resulted in exhibit sellouts, and four of these images are now in both Olympic Halls of Fame.
This will be WESMAN’s second fundraising art exhibit in support of the YWCA. The first, held in December 2005, was inspired by the World Junior Hockey Championships. For more information about the 2010 exhibit, visit www.ywcahotel.com/artexhibit.
