Christmas-themed “One Man Art Show” at Evergreen Park

Dec 7, 2022 | 2:31 PM

A local artist is hosting his second “One Man Art Show” of the year.

Desmond McCaffrey, a local wildlife artist, is hosting his second art show of the year at Evergreen Park, tailoring it towards shopping for the hunter in your family.

” I have some nice winter scenes that are really tied in with this time of year. I love this time of year so I get inspired a lot. I got a bull elk that’s in the snow. I’ve got a whitetail deer. I’ve got a snowy owl that is an older piece but it just ties right in with this time of year. There’s a fairly new wolf piece that I just completed here that has northern lights in it and stuff.”

McCaffrey adds he has a wide range of smaller pieces perfect for Christmas, having smaller gift-sized prints available, along with calendars and other winter-themed paintings.

This will be his second show in the Chuckwagon room at the TARA Centre, which he thoroughly enjoys, having fallen in love with it during his last show in the fall.

” It’s so perfect (Evergreen Park) has so much room there to park and the room is just the perfect size, and like you said the light shows out there and stuff, the whole thing has such a nice Christmas feel to it, they’ve had so many events over there lately here with the Christmas theme. It just fits in perfectly, again, with my niche and stuff I couldn’t imagine a better location to do this,” said McCaffrey.

He does expect a bigger crowd for this time round after his last “One Man Art Show” took place at the start of hunting season, which is a big chunk of his target demographic.

“They’ll be a little bit of new stuff, but mostly stuff that was already there in September, but there were a lot of people that didn’t get a chance to come to the show in September because of hunting season and different stuff like that, and I thought Christmas would be another opportunity for those people to come out.”

McCaffrey says among the stuff he’s bringing back from the September show is a piece not for sale. It is a portrait of his granddaughter that he enjoys and just likes to show off to the community.

McCaffrey’s “One Man Art Show” runs December 7, and 8, starting at noon until 9 p.m. both days, at Evergreen Park in the TARA Centre, inside of the Chuckwagon Room.
