OUR CREATIVE NATURE | 2020

Our Creative Nature - Group Exhibit. May 5th thru June 26th


We are excited to welcome you back to our onLocation Gallery.


Beginning June 2nd, we will open our doors and visitors will be permitted into the Gallery one at a time, due to the smaller physical space.


Health and safety is our top priority and we will wear masks, practice and encourage physical distancing, wash and sanitize hands frequently, offer to assist with product handling and information and conduct a thorough cleaning of our gallery at the end of each day.


The Gallery will have hand sanitizer for each who enters and masks needed for visitors.


We appreciate, in advance, your patience as we navigate our way through this in as safe a way as possible for us all.


Stay Safe! Wash your hands! We love you!


Online purchases may be picked up at the door or free delivery in the Port Alberni Area. We offer International Shipping, too!

Art can offer solace and comfort during difficult times.


Art is an expression, an acceptance, a depiction of thoughts through creativity. It’s an explanation of events, a showcase of beauty, and it’s a gift to the eyes of humanity.


An exhibit of paintings, photographs, mixed media, glass and copper featuring work by local and Island Artists such as Jacques De Backer, Doug Blackwell, Cynthia Bonesky, Lucas Chickite, Cecil Dawson, Chris Doman, Yolande Fournier, Jan Vriesen, Jillian Mayne, Ann McIvor, Todd Robinson, Ali Spence, Ariane Terez, Sue Thomas, Gordon Wilson, Nancy Wilson and Michael Wright.


For each purchase we will donate 10% to the charity of your choice from our Spirit Board.
