"Save the Date" for the Healing Forests artist call and exhibition opening

We are thrilled to share our newest project with a community supported organization, The Creston Community Forest & Tilted Brick Gallery Announce 2026 Juried Exhibition: “Healing Forests: in honour of what forests give to us.”

How you can participate today, "Save the Date" for the listed Exhibition Opening Date, notice that we will create a page dedicated on our website for this program, and ask you to share this information with any of your creative friends.

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 to 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 of all ages 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.

The Creston Community Forest (CCF) manages more than 21,000 hectares of local forest with a focus on sustainable practices, long-term stewardship, recreation infrastructure, and community benefit.
