Impressions 9
Annual Exhibit of Works by SSI Printmakers
Nov 8 - 27, 2024
Opening Reception Sat Nov 9, 5-7pm

Salt Spring Island Printmakers began in 2012 as a small group of dedicated printmakers who planned to meet together once a month to “play” with printmaking.

The Printmakers held their first exhibit “First Impressions” at the SSI Public Library in 2016. Since then, annual “Impressions” exhibits have been held on Salt Spring.

In 2022 the group officially became SSI Printmakers Society, which includes over 60 members. The same year, they also opened up a new studio in the SIMS building where the members share studio space, network with one another, and host workshops.

As with previous exhibits, “Impressions 9” showcases the wide variety of printmaking techniques employed by members, including their traditional mini prints category and 3D works.

Artifacts
Nothing is discarded in the Universe, it transforms. Michael Gooblar invites us tthrough photographic archeological explorations to witness and feel the obsolete and its journey normally hidden from the human eye.

In a world where fast speed and endless search for more and more, this exhibit offers a space to slow down and get aquainted with the life that continues its journey without us; enjoy the textures, the edgy  compositions emulating the seemingly random.

Tea with Diana Dean

Tea with Diana Dean
Sept 24, 2-4pm

Just before our current show “Diana Dean, Then and Now” closes, we would like to have a tea party with the artist herself, and you’re invited!

There will be cookies, good company and conversation, surrounded by exquisite artwork from over six decades of Diana’s work.  

This is a very special opportunity to spend time with the artist in her element, where landscape, portraiture, and allegory are intertwined in a rainbow of love and reverence in a gallery setting.

Pictured:  Diana Dean with gallery member Nathalie St-Amant during installation of “Diana Dean, Then & Now”.  In background, Dean’s masterpiece “Fernwood Dock” from 2007, and “Atomic Bomb” from 1959
