Celebration of Spring: Rebirth and Renewal April 2-25th 2010
Burnaby Arts Council’s Deer Lake Gallery hosts an annual juried ‘Celebration of Spring’ exhibition, featuring works of local emerging and established member artists, presenting 2D and 3D works for public viewing.
This year’s show, which runs from April 2-25th, offers the work of 25 artists in a variety of media, including bronze and recycled objects sculptures, textile art, photography and of course, paintings in watercolour, acrylic and oil; all interpreting the theme ‘rebirth and renewal’.
As in previous years, a “Peoples’ Choice” award of a solo show on next year’s Deer Lake Gallery exhibition roster will be provided to the artist who’s piece garners the most votes from gallery visitors.
The Celebration of Spring exhibition will provide a beautiful backdrop for April’s ‘BAC-Talk’ lecture at the Deer Lake Gallery, when we are delighted to present Stream of Dreams Society co-founder Louise Towell, as our guest speaker on April 17th at 1pm. Stream of Dreams is a non-profit that educates communities about the life and function of their watersheds.
Louise will present a fascinating ‘story scroll’ and talk about her passion for eco-education through community art. The original Stream of Dreams project was inspired by a need to heal our neighbourhood waterway Byrne Creek.
