The Members’ Show is a showcase of the abundant creativity found in Campbell River, and reflects the great natural beauty of our area, as well as the passion residents have for Arts and Culture. This year’s exhibition boasts upwards of 60+ pieces from various mediums.
“I always look forward to the Members’ Show! This annual exhibition is a great way to connect with local artists and support their practice,” Sara Lopez, the Campbell River Art Gallery's executive director said. “I love seeing the new works that longtime contributors have been working on, but also welcoming newcomers (and youth!) into our space - there’s so much creative energy in our community and it’s a joy to host such a program.”
