SUMMARY:Around the Kitchen Table: Crafting Connections
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition explores the intrinsic connection between making and communication\, proposing the physical act of creation as a language in its own right. Rooted in gesture rather than speech\, the works consider how knowledge\, memory\, and care are transmitted through the hands—across generations\, cultures\, and stages of life. Shaped as much by lived experience as by material\, each piece positions making as both an intimate and communal act\, where meaning is formed through touch\, repetition\, and shared presence.

SUMMARY:Emerging Artist Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening of art\, conversation\, and connection as we celebrate the work of five exciting emerging artists: Isis Costa\, Kinuka Hara\, Naomi Zhang\, Jordan Mitchell\, and Tatiana Ragonessi.

Come celebrate emerging voices and discover the stories held within their work.

SUMMARY:Charles Campbell's Breath Portraits at Wil Abelle Gallery
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition reception will be for Charles Campbell’s Breath Portraits\, a series that transforms the intimate act of breathing into collective portraits of Black vitality. \nWorking with community members\, Campbell records breaths and translates them into large-scale spectrograms—images that function as both personal traces and shared archives. In the wake of the Black Lives Matters movement—which has foregrounded the precarity of Black breath—Campbell turns the narrative toward survival\, resilience\, and renewal. The works are haunting in their beauty but also profoundly political: breath here becomes a form of testimony\, resistance\, and continuity. \nOpening reception: November 13 from 6pm – 8pm

SUMMARY:Canoe Cultures - Canoe Carving Demonstrations
DESCRIPTION:Canoe Cultures is a local community organization that celebrates resiliency by bringing forth the War Canoe as a vessel which carries gifts forward for future generations.  Carvers from Squamish and Snuneymuxw First Nations honour the strong cultural connection the canoe has to the lands and the waters.  Carvers will be working on their newest design\, a cedar strip 6-person war canoe. They will also be working on paddles and other associated artwork. The experience of crafting a dugout from a massive single red cedar log or red cedar strip is a rare opportunity as there are few canoe carvers left in Canada to pass the knowledge on to their communities. As part of the Canoe Culture Program\, Lead Carver Mike Billy Sr. addresses the cultural transmission of Indigenous knowledge from one generation to the next.

SUMMARY:Vessels - Art of the Feminine
DESCRIPTION:Vessels – Art of the Feminine is a textile project that explores the female form as a vessel\, symbolizing both strength and societal expectations placed on women’s bodies. Through sculptural stitched vessels\, similar to ancient ceramic pots and urns\, the work critiques the pressures of conformity and the historical framing of women’s identities. Each piece is crafted using repurposed materials\, intricate stitching\, hand dyed fabric\, and advanced surface design techniques that integrate traditional and contemporary motifs\, symbols\, and text that reflect the societal pressures experienced by women throughout various stages of life. By contrasting these historical forms with modern representations of women’s experiences\, the project addresses contemporary issues such as gender expression\, personal and physical autonomy\, and women’s empowerment.
