Remembering Barry Day
Barry Day was a warm-hearted and giving friend who volunteered to help in our community whenever he was asked. After a short, brave battle with cancer, he passed away on March 6, 2023.
Over the many years of serving with our show, Barry brought energy and a “can-do” attitude and he lightened the hard work we do with his quick-witted humour. Barry’s involvement with the West Fine Art Show went far beyond setting up and taking down our show. He also volunteered on countless occasions with behind-the scene equipment acquisition, modification and fabrication and also the hard work of inspections and inventory of our show equipment.
As satisfying as it may be to be able to present the West Fine Art Show to the public, Barry made it all much more doable and fun and for that we will miss his fellowship very much. On behalf of all past featured-artists and all the board members at the West Fine Art Show Society, thank you Barry for your friendship and service through the years you were with us!

Our thank you to the community after our March, 2022 Show:
The weekend of March4-6 emerged from a dark Covid Winter and three days of glorious sunshine erupted like a Dutch daffodil. As a result the West Fine Art Show was perfectly cradled below the glass ceilings of Glass House Estate Winery where nearly 600 visitors were welcomed. Our eighteen artists, delighted to be able to display their art in public once again, experienced a tsunami of appreciation which lead to many sales and much good will. 25% of all art sales go to the Langley School District Foundation to help support Langley students. Adding to the sunshine, the West Fine Art Show presented an additional cheque for $1500 to the Foundation.
The Langley School District Foundation staff and Board of Directors would like to express our deepest appreciation for the opportunity to be involved in the 13th Annual West Fine Art Show in March 2022. It was an exceptional experience and our hats are off to you all, for coordinating such a professional and well-run event, especially given the uncertainly of our world due to Covid-19. As your charitable partner, we would also like to share our appreciation to the participating artists for donating 25% of their sales to the Foundation in support of Langley students. Over $5,850 was raised and will be directed to food programming in the district, ensuring that hungry students are fed and able to concentrate on their education and learning. We thank you again for the opportunity. All the best, Alicia Rempel, Executive Director, Langley School District Foundation
Thank you from Langley Hospice after our September, 2021 show:
The 11th Annual West Fine Art Show, hosted by the Joseph Richard Group at the Glass House Estate Winery in South Langley on September 17-19, 2021, featured 17 Western Canadian artists on-site to show case their beautiful works throughout the weekend. The Sept 2021 show & of art sales. Langley Hospice is grateful for the ongoing contributions of these amazing artists.
The West Fine Art Show deeply appreciates the long-time support of the deJong family who, some years ago, first hosted our show under the “Glass House”. More recently, JRG Group of Companies has generously hosted the West Fine Art Show thus enabling the show to continue to bring our well-received art show before the public and, this year, to also help us generate supportive funding for both the Langley School District Foundation and, in our next September show, The Langley Hospice Society. If we are approaching the beginning of "getting back to normal", we hope our shows serve as an injection-of-sunshine, art and the hope for better times ahead.
