The Creston Community Forest & Tilted Brick Gallery announce a 2026 Juried Exhibition
About the Project
The Creston Community Forest, in partnership with the Tilted Brick Gallery, invites artists across the Kootenays to submit work for “Healing Forests: in honour of what forests give us,” a juried exhibition opening in September 2026.
The exhibition explores the many ways forests shape our lives: ecologically, economically, culturally, emotionally, and recreationally. Artists age 16+ and working in any medium are encouraged to participate.
This exhibition celebrates that work and invites artistic reflection on the value of forests in daily life.
1st Prize: $500 2nd Prize: $300 3rd Prize: $200
