Cap Off. Creativity On. Liquitex Marker Party with Vikki Drummond and the Opus Crew

Cap Off. Creativity On. Liquitex Marker Party with Vikki Drummond and the Opus Crew

Toss the brushes. Lose the limits.

Join the Opus Victoria crew to celebrate the launch of the new Liquitex Markers—the ultimate tool for the rule breakers, the experimenters, and the ones pushing color past the edges.

This isn't your standard product demo; it’s an interactive Art Party. We’re putting unapologetically bold colors directly into your hands to test drive across a variety of fun, unexpected surfaces. With an upbeat party playlist setting the vibe, prepare to push boundaries, loosen up, and let your creative flow take over.

Bring Your Junk to Decorate: Don't just stick to paper and canvas! Dig through your recycling bin or hit the thrift store. Bring in your everyday junk—empty jars, old picture frames, scratched vinyl records, worn-out shoes, or small wooden objects—and give it a bold new life.

Featured Artist: Vikki Drummond (4:00 PM – 6:00 PM) Connect with visiting artist Vikki Drummond for a hands-on live demo. Discover new techniques, see how these markers bridge the gap between street and fine art, and learn exactly how to layer, blend, and dominate any surface.

Hosted by Opus Art Supplies & our Experience leader

From early childhood, Vikki has been exploring her creative side, opting for crayons and paints over dolls. As a teenager, she primarily focused on developing her drawing skills. The art of shadowing and infusing light with a charcoal pencil formed the foundation for her future work. Post-secondary prompted a sensible choice, and Vikki enrolled in a Business Administration program, which led to a two-decade career in Sales and Marketing. While her beloved art was on hold, Vikki met her adorable husband, and together they owned and operated several restaurants and a bar, raising a son, a daughter, and three mutts. In 2020, Vikki and her husband downsized to the beautiful downtown area of Victoria, BC. She brings a belief in both the beauty and the absurdity of our human world to the canvas, convening with magical creatures and dark monsters in equal measure.

What’s included in a paid vs free event?

Paid events may include hands-on instruction, materials, and exclusive product offers. The details will be listed on the event page.

Free events may include a short, informative session led by an artist—perfect for picking up techniques, learning about materials, and sparking inspiration. You’re welcome to paint along, but it’s not required.

We host events both in-store at select Opus locations and online via Zoom or other platforms. The location and format will always be clearly stated.
