Art Gallery Reminders:
August 10th to October 26th – Side Saddle ~ Art Gallery Exhibit
Work by artist collaborative Jorden Blue and David James Doody is bold, provocative and crafted with the highest levels of refinement. Both are graduates from UBC’s Critical and Creative Studies program and although each artist offers a uniquely individual approach, they share a common focus on the materialism of cultural codification. Side Saddle is sponsored by Denise Mitchell Interiors, and will be in the Discovery Gallery from August 10 to October 26. The Art Gallery is open Tuesday to Saturday 12-5pm. For more information please call 250.287.2261.
August 31st to October 26th – Nickels and Dimes ~ Art Gallery Exhibit
Jay Hanscom’s exhibition pairs mixed media drawings on paper with a series of large-scale mixed media and resin pieces on wooden box frames. He uses various motifs and cultural symbols to combine boyhood themes of masculinity and heroism with conflicting adult frustrations. Nickels and Dimes will be in the Main Gallery from Aug. 31 to Oct. 26. The Gallery is open from Tuesday to Saturday 12-5pm.
