Meet Me at The Gallery is a daytime art program dedicated to enriching the lives of seniors and adults in our community with monthly get-togethers inspired by the gallery’s current exhibitions. Visitors are invited to drop-in on the first Wednesday of every month at 10:00 am to make new connections with art, and each other! A different activity will greet visitors every month, with social time to follow.

Advance registration below is helpful, but walk-ins are always welcome.

Happening in January
Join us for a tour of the Lind Biennial, led by curator Elliott Ramsey. Established in 2016, this honour is awarded biennially to an emerging BC-based artist working in mediums of photography, film, or video. Artists are nominated for the prize by arts professionals from institutions, organisations, and post-secondary programs across the province. In 2024, thanks to a generous donation from the Lind family, the prize amount has increased to $25,000, making it one of the country’s largest accolades dedicated to supporting visual artists.

Happening in February
Examine Cibachrome photo artworks and listen to the stories behind them from artist Launie Fairbairn. Launie Wong Fairbairn holds an Advanced Photography Diploma from Emily Carr University of Art & Design with a postgraduate 5th year specialization in analogue colour printing. Launie was the first female graduate of Chinese descent with a degree from Emily Carr’s photography discipline. In her 5 decades in the photographic arts, her practice was a visual exploration and technical experimentation culminating in a photographic livelihood.  She is recognized for her technical expertise as a print technician, imaging consultant, and project coordinator for esteemed photo artists on their local and international lens-based projects.
