Salt Spring Gallery would like to welcome the celebration of Pride goers of our lovely Island!
Bring your rainbow heart and drop by our gallery for your art fix. We offer a welcoming environment to all, and, as Salt Spring's oldest and only artist-run cooperative fine art gallery, we have the very best in fresh, local art.
Lots going on this month.
We have a new show opening on Friday July 28, reception at 5-7 pm: On the Lighter Side. A collection of paintings and whimsical sculpture by Carol James, one of our founding members.
August 18 brings the opening reception for a phenomenal show by our own Nathalie St-Amant and Tofino artist Michael H. Wright. An Odd Agreement: two worlds meet in the wild. Not to be missed.
We are also pleased to announce two new members have joined our ranks: Shannon Wardroper and Amy Melious.
Shannon is a textile-based artist whose love of nature is reflected in abstracted botanical imagery, motifs, and cultural references sewn, printed, and dyed into exquisite fibre sculptures, wall hangings, and installations. She has exhibited in the UK at the Royal Horticultural Society’s Chelsea Flower show as well as the Museum of Garden History, London, and teaches fibre-based arts here on Salt Spring.
Amy is a lens-based artist who incorporates a wide range of techniques in her photographic art practice. She used a traditional darkroom for twenty years, then moved on to incorporate digital techniques into her process, as well as hand painting selected bodies of work with dry pastel, paints or encaustic.
Please join us in welcoming Shannon and Amy to the Salt Spring Gallery, a community hub for the arts since 2009.
