Join us for the opening receptions of our newest exhibitions, A Change of Climate by Niina Chebry in the Main Gallery, Ecotherapy by Andrea Pratt in the Eve Smart Gallery, and Listed by Denise Allen in Joe’s Lounge on Sat. September 20th 2pm – 4pm. All are welcome!
In Niina Chebry’s A Change of Climate, paintings of the iceberg in various forms of existence are imbued with their majestic beauty along with their peril in the face of climate change. Reflecting the spiritual power of the forest and its crucial connection to us, Andrea Pratt’s Ecotherapy features abstract oil paintings exploring and reflecting on the sacred, healing, and intangible aspects of our local forest ecosystem. Denise Allen’s Listed features Lino-cut prints drawing attention to our local at risk species.
to Oct 14th. Niina Chebry’s exhibition A Change of Climate in the Main Gallery uses the iceberg as a main subject representing a range of sentiments, particularly towards climate change. Paintings of the iceberg in various forms of existence are imbued with their majestic beauty along with their peril. As we experience more climate disruptors such as droughts, floods, fires, and extreme weather patterns, feelings of anxiety, depression, and hopelessness related to eco-anxiety rise. Through her sweeping moody compositions, capturing of weather and time changes, and variously angled micro and macro visions of icebergs, Chebry aims to generate awareness and discussion and to inspire and stir the viewer.

Join us for the Opening Reception of Motion Pictures by Tiko Kerr in the Main Gallery!
Tiko Kerr is a Vancouver based artist who has been developing his artistic process since the early 1980s. His work invites the viewer to engage, interpret, and find resonance within their own subjective experiences. Kerr’s exhibition Motion Pictures features collaged hybrids of painting, relief, and sculpture. Mirroring the way in which we view the veracity of socio-political issues and the accuracy of what we see or hear, what we believe becomes the product of our viewing position.
All are welcome.
Join us for the Opening Reception of Toward the Light by Myron Jones on Saturday August 23rd 2pm – 4pm. All are welcome!
Myron Jones is a local artist who grew up in rural southern Ontario, where he developed a natural connection to the landscapes around him, an impression and influence that has remained an integral part of his practice throughout his career as an artist. In his work Myron Jones distills the core elements of the countryside or seaside around him, carefully constructing landscapes with an emphasis on form, simplicity, minimalism occasionally bordering on abstraction, and the visual effects of light and weather.

Drawing from traditional Heiltsuk box designs, crest figures, and other Heiltsuk cosmologies, as well as from contemporary and western art traditions, Bradley Hunt presents a collection that represents the continued evolution of his career as a professional artist. Beginning his artistic career in 1965, Hunt spent time as a designer making silkscreen prints, before dedicating himself to learning the craft of carving wood and metals. Known for his large sculptures and cedar wall panels, Hunt has recently transitioned to painting on wood panels. Highlighting this new phase of his work, this exhibition features paintings and a variety of pen and ink or pencil drawings; as well as works by several of Hunt’s family members.

Join us for the Opening Reception for:
‘On the Beach’
Yvonne Adalian, Tannis Hopkins, Carol Roberts, Lorna Schwenk, Joyce Ozier, Rosemary Burden, Annette Nieukerk, Nicky Evans, Mary Ungerleider
On the Beach is an exhibit about older women by older women. The history of figurative art has long been dominated by the ‘male gaze’ most often depicting women young, nubile and half clothed. The figures of elderly females are practically non-existent in galleries, museums and art history books – subject to the ageism prevalent in our culture – making many feel irrelevant and invisible.
To May 25th. Inspired by mythology, philosophy, courageous artists and small children, with an interest in politics and social consciousness, Marie Price’s work explores the human interactions that take place in all of these forums and the mindsets we employ in attempts to organize our human behaviour. In this exhibition in the Eve Smart Gallery Price presents four different bodies of work, linked by a central theme of investigating the perpetually fluctuating conditions of human existence, and the sometimes questionable means we employ to exercise control over it.
Join us for the Opening Reception on Saturday, May 3rd, 2pm – 4pm. All are welcome!
Join us for the Opening Receptions of two separate exhibitions by Marney-Rose Edge and Marie Price on May 3rd, 2pm – 4pm. Both artists will also be presenting an Artist Talk. All are welcome!
Marney-Rose Edge, exhibiting The Quiet of the Nest is Where Dreams Come True in the Main Gallery, uses the nest as both a motif and a metaphor representing a protected space where dreams in their earliest and most fragile forms are given room to grow. Marie Price, exhibiting On the Face of It in the Eve Smart Gallery, is inspired by mythology, philosophy, courageous artists and small children, with an interest in politics and social consciousness.
Join us for an Opening Reception on Saturday, April 5th, 2pm – 4pm. All are welcome!
Carolina Franzen’s exhibition Man Made Cloud in the Main Gallery features fine, detailed, colourful line work sensually evolving into expansive landscapes which subtly engage with the beholder and their preconceptions. Carolina Franzen holds an MA in History of Art and a PhD focussing on genocide and philosophy. She has explored active and academic ways of living around the Salish Sea since 2013. In 2024 Franzen exhibited her sculptural work, slyly swift assemblages made of found objects, in GPAG’s Joe’s Lounge; now, she returns through this exhibition in the Main Gallery to works representing the forms of land.
to April 27th. Discarded coloured and textured papers are embedded within layers of paint obscuring their surfaces. Making incisions into the surface, Dorothy Doherty lifts and peels sections of the paint, revealing the layers beneath and creating a result that is often entirely unplanned and random in every way. Straddling the line between realism and abstraction, Doherty’s work examines a number of issues, particularly relating to urban decay, the beauty of the world around us, the rapid extinction of life forms on this planet, and the effect that humans have on the environment around us. This exhibition is on display in the Main Gallery Apr 3rd – 27th.
