GALLERY EVENTS
March 7: Abstracted Realities
Exhibit Opening
2-4pm | FREE | Drop-In
Viz Saraby and Simon Kattar present an exhibition that transforms everyday experiences into things entirely new. Kattar’s paintings are full of movement, colour, and rhythm, a sensory translation of life itself, while Saraby twists the familiar with conceptual play, humour, and abstraction. Their works invite viewers to explore a world where reality is just the starting point: sometimes strange, sometimes funny, always thought-provoking.
Join us for the opening to meet the artists, ask your questions and interact with a stunning body of work.
March 14: Art Critique Workshop
Workshop
1-3pm | FREE | Registration Required
Join local art instructor Michelle Fleming for an interactive art critique workshop for artists of all levels. Michelle will offer constructive feedback on participants’ artwork, identifying strengths and areas for improvement. Casual observers are also welcome to attend!
