In the Company of Trees
October 4 – 25, 2025

In the heart of every forest, an ancient story unfolds—a living testament to the enduring relationship between earth, sky, and the people whose lives are shaped by both. ‘In the company of trees”, an evocative new exhibition, celebrates this story through a diverse array of artwork. This show invites visitors to pause, reflect, and reconnect with the wisdom of the forest, to rediscover the quiet power of trees and the many forms wood takes in art, craft, and daily life.

Opening Reception:
Saturday, October 4, 2025

qó: te i "This is Water"
by Vanessa Serroul
September 13 - December 20, 2025

🌊 This exhibition showcases artworks that highlight the significance of water through a diverse range of canvas pieces. These works address various issues, including climate change, pollution, land overdevelopment, and the effects on our watersheds, communities, species, and habitats that depend on water. Additionally, the exhibition emphasizes how we can implement positive changes for the benefit of future generations.

Each artwork is meticulously hand-painted using acrylic and watercolour on primed wrapped canvases. These pieces portray abstract formlines of animals and their surrounding environment, blending traditional Salish art forms with a contemporary perspective.
