I want to share with you this really interesting place I discovered called "The Well".
It's a meeting place where artists can show their stuff. It's quite a nice venu and a great down town location. On Fort near Island Blue. I went to an art show there last night put on by the Victoria Arts Council. You can buy a membership and get various perks, like free coffee and tea and free admission to paid events. Plus you get to use the place for your own event. There's discounts too. Any way It's a new idea. It's like a community centre. But not government funded. And it's about supporting artists. Here's a link. I recommend it. Maybe go to one of the events and see for yourself.the Well
