to Aug 15th. In the world of weaving sculptural forms with willow, two powerful – and at times disparate – influences come together.
Basketry is an ancient craft that has been practiced in virtually all human societies. Weavers then and now learn exacting techniques and styles to make their works useful and durable.
The pieces in this exhibit were inspired by Dawn’s daily walks in the forest and along the ocean shore, and the great diversity in Nature. Today the word “diversity” is used often in our ever-changing society. But before the word ever left a human’s lips, Nature had the concept perfected. Species, all species, are fully interdependent on their neighbours. Thus, Nature does not merely tolerate diversity, it thrives in it. It celebrates it. It stakes everything on it. Let us do the same.
Don’t miss this amazing opportunity to rehome one of Evelyn’s luscious landscapes or charismatic creatures.
Opening Reception June 5 – 5pm-8pm. Show runs to July 4
to June 30th. DRIFT- This work is inspired by the ever- changing landscapes of the places the artist has called home, drawing on shifting horizons, light and atmosphere to evoke memory and sensation. Through a minimalist approach, the work explores liminal spaces where sky and land meet, capturing quiet transitions and a sense of boundless possibility.
Commissions are welcomed.
to July 4th. Evelyn’s creations are layered in sensuous intricate texture; drips, dots and spatters merge and mingle to create striking contemporary paintings. A deep sense of the natural world and energetic colour play are fundamental to her portrayals of vibrant mountain meadows, lively flower gardens, lush rainforests and charismatic wildlife.
Coastal Layers explores the intersection between land, sea, and self — the shifting boundaries that define life on the west coast of British Columbia. These works reflects the physical, emotional, and cultural strata that make up coastal experience: mist and mountain, tide and forest, memory and change.
to June 17th. Inspired by the people who have said to Coralie Swaney “I’d love to see inside your head”, Thinking Out Loud melds portraiture with still life painting and explores the notion of the observer being able to look inside the mind of the subject. Whether illuminating simple thoughts, memories, fleeting notions, or a full-blown obsession, all portraits represent a reprieve from a world fraught with angst and tribulation. Also included are a family of sculpted characters, members of a fictional book club, with the interactions between these characters exposed and explored. An exhibition in Joe’s Lounge, on display May 28 – June 17th. Join us for the Opening Reception on Saturday, May 30, 2pm – 4pm. All are welcome!
to June 21st. A multi-media exhibition curated by Kamala Todd that opens space for the in-between, sharing expansive cosmologies that blur binaries, uphold radical kinship, and question the idea of what a monster truly is. With works expressing cultural knowledge and practices that are rooted in the interconnected world, featured artists include Senaqwila Wyss (Squamish Nation), Siobhan Joseph (Squamish Nation), Bracken Hanuse Corlett (Wuikinuxv and Klahoose Nations), Savanna Todd (Métis-Cree), and Candace Campo (Sechelt Nation). An exhibition on display in the Eve Smart Gallery May 28th – June 21st, 2026. Join us for the Opening Reception on Saturday May 30th, 2pm – 4pm. All are welcome!
to June 21st. At the Table | The Architecture of Control is a portrait-based exhibition highlighting the lived experiences, identities, and truths of 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals. Large scale hyperrealistic drawings offer complete transparency, with differing conceptions of identity, vulnerability, and strength put prominently on display. Jeannette Sirois invites viewers to step closer, engage deeply, and contemplate the importance of being seen. While each subject’s story is distinct, together they convey a shared truth, asserting that what 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals bring to the table is the same as anyone else; the right to exist authentically and without fear. In an era of increasing hostility toward 2SLGBTQ+ communities, this project provides a vital space for visibility, dialogue, and empathy, and encourages reflection on the systems that determine who is seen, heard, and valued. An exhibition on display in the Main Gallery May 28 – June 21. Join us for the Opening Reception on Saturday, May 30, 2pm – 4pm. All are welcome!
