Speplól Tanya Zilinski’s voyage with loom beading tapestries emerged through an exploration of cultural identity. They were taught to loom bead at 15 years old by a Stó:lō Elder in their community at Chawathil First Nation. Passing on cultural knowledge, language, and oral stories, Speplól has developed methods and techniques for creating large loom beaded tapestries made from tiny glass seed beads. Each piece reflects their unique techniques and deep connection to their heritage, bridging generations and uniting cultures through vibrant colour, texture, and meaning. Fusion of Traditions is a celebration of resilience, transformation, and the enduring strength of community.
CURRENT EXHIBITION | IT ALL BELONGS | Opening Reception - Wednesday, June 25, 4 - 7 pm Artist Talk - Wednesday, July 16, 6:30 - 8 pm British Columbia-based photographer Chad Chomlack invites viewers into a profound exploration of nature's spiritual essence through his limited edition print series, It All Belongs. Serving as a meditative journey into presence, wonder, and interconnectedness, Chad’s work highlights the belief that every moment—be it filled with joy or challenge—holds inherent value and purpose. Through his lens, Chad captures the emotional and spiritual landscapes that bind us to the natural world and invites us to pause, reflect, and recognize the sacredness in every moment, urging a deeper connection to each other and the world around us. Each image reflects a personal journey of embracing life's full spectrum, grounded in the mantra that “it all belongs.”

JANUARY 15, 2025 - MARCH 27, 2025 Reception - Wednesday, January 15, 2025 - 4-7pm Artist Talk - Monday, January 27, 2025 - 6-7:30pm In/dwellings features a selection of artworks made by Professor Jonathan Anderson over the course of nearly a decade, 2005 to 2014. Drawn from three different series, these works all begin from the premise that representational paintings are like built structures, setting up provisional spaces for negotiating our ways of dwelling in the world. In many of his paintings, Anderson purposefully conflates the construction of an image with the (re)construction of a building, a chapel, a home. Ultimately, this exhibition is an extended meditation on what George Steiner called the “covenant between word and object, the presumption that being is, to a workable degree, ‘sayable.’”
Shirley Wiebe shares a series of new sculptural installations that consider her Mennonite background and history. The recurring form of a found staircase embodying concepts of passage, challenge, and destination intermingles with works in a state of perpetual motion, untangling and tangling. Her process is based on studied physical interaction with materials in unfamiliar combinations, which she gathers on site or repurposes from remnants. This is her way of dismantling the past to manifest the present.

Photography is often considered in terms of its technical process and finished product, the image. This project, by contrast, seeks to explore its creation: the process of “hosting” light—the visible world in this present moment—within the camera as in the eye; the process and gift of attention.
