The Sooke Fine Arts Show (SFAS) is a 35-year strong, 11-day community arts experience, viewed online by over 10,000 visitors last year. Each year, jurors who are experienced artists in their own right, select about 350 original works to collectively form the largest juried art show on Vancouver Island.
Sponsors of the show from across Vancouver Island and surrounding regions help keep the Sooke Fine Arts Show lights on (or in the case of this year, the screen of your digital device). Many of the sponsors have supported the show for several years in a row.
