2020 Art Gallery Shows

Children in Art, Art for Children

Feb 7-Mar 14, 2020

Join us for our Reception

on Friday, Feb 7, 4-7pm

This show is about children and how we inspire them to take their own path-

maybe art, maybe another passion.

Beauty, fun, curiosity...inspiration.

What will be a part of our exhibition?

Could be...art on the wall, mixed media, digital art, 3D offerings, eg sculpture, lego forms, wood models, ceiling hangings, hand crafted toys... Music, stories, quotes to live by...

Stimulate the imagination.

Art OF children, of course...

Nicola Valley Community Arts Show Robert Moretti

"I Love Painting!"

April 25-May 25, 2020

Robert Moretti says he came late to painting. But he enjoys it a lot, and comes up with lots of ideas.

His style is eclectic, as you'll see in our first online show. He tries out different styles and we see a lot of variety and themes.

Robert has been a part of our art community now for just over two years. He contributes to every Community show we have.

Robert has joined our artisans in the Gallery Shop, displaying one or two pieces and volunteering at the Gallery to welcome locals and visitors to the valley.

Robert's show had been booked since 2019. When Covid 19 shut down happened, it was just days before Bob's show was going up.

We put it up anyway and had lots of visitors online.

Then we were able to open the Gallery and invited the public in to see Robert's show in person!

Most of Robert's pieces are for sale. Contact the Arts Gallery if you are interested.

And is supported by Gallery Shop Artisan and Apiarist Diana Grimshire of Grimshire Apiaries.

Diana is bringing an "observation hive" for our Reception, and for the Bee Creative workshop for kids.

And artist and apiarist Sarah Desrosier of Coquihalla Apiaries is leading the children's workshop with NVCAC pres Mischelle Pierce.

Thanks to all who have brought art, writing, and info for this show!

Still time to sign up!

NVCAC president Mischelle Pierce brought BAE Bill for a tour of the bee show!

Amanda Dunn's paper quilling art piece was purchased on the show's first day. And we let it go because the buyers were from Mission, on their way home.

So here it is!

Memories and Mandalas

Celebration of Life in the Nicola Valley

Sept 4 - 26/20

We invited NVCAC members to bring artwork, writing, and song inspired by, or created by loved ones and mentors they have lost.

Georgina Beatty, George Armstrong, Molly Lauder, Peter McVey, Diane Kiernan, Beatrice Sederberg, Leonard and Doris George, and Gordon Cockle’s works are on display.

Artists Judy Young, Jean Kiegerl, Cindy Trent, and Richard Lepinsky share their own work inspired by loved ones.

And Mischelle Pierce has brought work by her mother, still with us, Carol Yurkowski.

Enjoy also, Mandala work by Kathleen Kinasewich, Evelyn Armstrong, and more.

The mandala can express grief and joy, heartfelt emotions, and life’s cycles.

The work of artists make a lasting impression. It’s a beautiful show.

Come join us and honour artists who have passed. And remember your own loved ones.

We hope to see you at our Reception, Thursday Sept 10, 4-7pm.

Come and chat with the artists and families of people remembered. Share stories.
