IN THE GALLERY

January 18 – March 23, 2025
Persimmon Blackbridge: Speak No (emergency)
In this compelling installation by Persimmon Blackbridge, dozens of faces and figures on wall-mounted panels track the devastation of climate change. Faced with the forest fires of Lytton, the plastic-clogged Pacific Ocean, and other challenges to BC’s environment, this wooden army comes together in persistence, anger, despair, and hope.

Dear Plastic:
Ari Bayuaji, Emily Hermant, Caroline Monnet, Alex Tedlie-Stursberg, Cheryl Wong
The five featured artists of Dear Plastic straddle the divide between what is considered artificial versus natural in their engagement with plastic. They clearly delight in the potential of plastic as artistic material, which they reuse, repurpose, or reimagine to fashion visually arresting works.

Art Workshop: Salvaged Sculptures
Students will create a sculptural artwork incorporating mixed-media art materials, found objects, and recycled materials to reflect the challenges to our climate and environment.


April 12 – June 8, 2025
Mary Sui Yee Wong, 1990s-2000s
Revealing the breadth of Wong’s rigorous artistic practice, this exhibition will showcase her previous artworks including sculpture, installation, video, performance, and costume culminating with new work. Wong’s artwork explores the histories and experiences of Chinese Canadians and engages with personal memory, cultural history, and familial legacy.

Art Workshop: Cultural Clothing
Responding to Wong’s playful costumes, students will create a mixed-media clothing design reflecting on their cultural heritage.
