A dynamic, multifaceted portrait of Sunshine Coast life in the Eve Smart Gallery, sparking conversation and reflection on memory, environment, and interpretation. United by place but distinct in perspective, each artist offers a unique interpretation of the Sunshine Coast’s iconic landscapes. Eva Taylor’s vivid acrylic landscapes capture the Coast’s energy and colour, Matthew Boismier’s evocative watercolours reflect the emotional tone of the environment, and Cambria Logan’s high contrast minimalism and use of a variety of mediums lend themselves to the creation of striking sculptural works. Together, these artists invite viewers to explore how a shared subject can be transformed through three artistic lenses.
Join us for the Opening Reception on Saturday, January 17th, 2pm – 4pm!
Pulling from the artist’s lived experience with disability and difficulty, this exhibition in the Main Gallery is filled with creatures that are nuanced and strange, broken and fierce, and filled with conflicting layers that make up the whole of who they are. Mixed media sculptures, drawings, oil paintings, and collage are used to create figures evolving through time, existing in a wild place where strange beings can stretch their legs, escape, belong, or find their place in the world.

Hand produced silk screen prints in the traditional style of the Coast Salish People explore place names and different aspects of storytelling and culture. Place names, and the stories behind each place, are an important part of the Coast Salish culture and the management of natural resources. Fritz’s work aims to represent all of these different aspects of Coast Salish culture, using both contemporary and traditional styles in her prints. Striving to express her People’s history and all of our futures using her art, Fritz focuses on the animals and scenes of the West Coast of Canada and our relationships with them. An exhibition in the Eve Smart Gallery.
