SUMMARY:Spinning and Unraveling: Art from the Wachiay Residency (Exhibit Opening)
DESCRIPTION:During this year’s Wachiay Residency\, six community-based artists from around B.C. spent a week immersed in the screen print medium. Their work will be on display at Comox Valley Art Gallery from September 27-October 26. \n\n \n\nThe opening of this exhibit coincides with Pulse in the Plaza. Several of the artists will be in attendance. \n\n \n\nLuke Ramsey from the Sunshine Coast and Rachelle Antoine from K’omoks First Nation were the first artists in the studio. They were followed by Amanda Hugon and Facundo Gastiazoro who are part of Raven Tacuara mural collective in northern B.C. The final artist pair\, Shawna Kiesman and Danika Saunders\, are longtime friends who met at Freda Diesing School of Northwest Coast Art.

SUMMARY:Pearl Ellis Gallery Presents: "Outside In"
DESCRIPTION:The Pearl Ellis Gallery is thrilled to present “Outside In\,” a captivating group show featuring the works of Maggie Ziegler\, Sharon Lalonde\, Shea Kotilla\, Jean Cockburn\, Lynn Farwell\, Larissa McLean\, and Elaine Smith. This exhibition runs from September 17 to October 12\, 2024. \nThe concept behind “Outside In” explores the sources of artistic inspiration. It goes beyond the visible world\, delving into the emotions and intangible feelings that drive creativity. This exhibition emphasizes the synthesis of external experiences with internal emotions to create art that is both visually striking and emotionally resonant. \nThe participating artists draw from their surroundings\, memories\, and personal experiences\, blending these with their inner emotions to create pieces that not only depict but also connect on a deeper level\, capturing what matters. \nWhile technical skill is essential\, the artists in “Outside In” aim to infuse their work with personal expression. This adds a unique touch that transforms their creations from mere representations into meaningful\, original art. \n“Outside In” challenges the notion that art must replicate reality. Instead\, the artists focus on capturing the essence of their inspirations—both seen and unseen—inviting viewers to engage with their work on an emotional level. \nMeet the artists and experience their work firsthand at the opening reception on Saturday\, September 21\, from 1-3 PM. The Pearl Ellis Gallery is open Tuesday to Saturday\, from 10 AM to 4 PM.
