This year's RipOff challenge took place from July 4 - July 9 at the Quail's Nest art centre in Oliver. We had an opening reception on Monday evening and most of us worked through the week every day until the Big Finale on Saturday.

Here is the whole gang together, proudly posing before our ripoffs of Grant Wood's American Gothic.
In August all works are on display at the Oliver Visitor Centre for your viewing pleasure!
