Art Exhibition: SCAC – Dawn Myers : Splendour: Celebrating The Collaborations In Our Natural World
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.
Art Exhibition: SCAC – wa shew̓áy̓ ta x̱wítl’em “Growing Strings / Fibres”
to Aug 16th. wa shew̓áy̓ ta x̱wítl’em is the name of a new growing space in Gibsons that brings together Indigenous plants traditionally used for weaving, cordage, dye, and textile practices while supporting the restoration of the pond ecosystem and surrounding habitat. This garden is a living space of cultural revitalization, ecological care, and intergenerational knowledge sharing rooted in Sḵwx̱wú7mesh teachings.
Alongside the launch of this space, this exhibition shares the work of artists whose work expresses this interconnectedness. Some are artists who have led the creation of wa shew̓áy̓ ta x̱wítl’em, including Cease Wyss, Jaz Whitford and Megan Dewar. Their work shares the central ethos of the garden – to be in community as a verb – to commune, meaning-make and story-bear as a collective act of decolonial joy.

Also included are a family of sculpted characters, members of a fictional book club, with the interactions between these characters exposed and explored.

GPAG: Art Exhibition: JEANNETTE SIROIS | At the Table | The Architecture of Control
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!
