Water is sacred. In Canada, and especially in the Secwepemc region, water is plentiful, and we rarely consider its value as an integral part of all life. We can be wasteful, we dump toxins into it, we drain it from springs and marshes, we use it to maintain colonial lawns and flower gardens. Yet we recognize that without it, all of earth’s inhabitants would cease to exist. The Art Gallery welcomes all ages of artists to celebrate and explore water in their environment. Over one hundred artworks in a variety of mediums are on display.
The Coffee Break and Artist Talk is on Thursday, November 17 at 2pm. This walk-about style talk allows each artist to speak about their work. Complimentary coffee and cookies are available.
The Art Gallery is open until 7pm on Thursdays during this exhibition.
