This Friday September 18th YOU are Invited!

You are Invited! Please join us this Friday September 18th, 5-7pm at the Tilted Brick Gallery for the Opening Night of 'Healing Forests: In honour of what forests give us’. There you will be able to experience juried art pieces: sculpture, video, felt, painting, drawing, and other mediums.

We are proud to see this partnership and project come to life after 15 months of planning.  The exhibition features works by artists throughout the Kootenays, each bringing their own perspective and creative interpretation to the theme of Healing Forests: In Honour of What Forests Give Us.

Along with their artwork, each artist has shared an Artist Statement that explores the inspiration, meaning, and personal connection behind their piece. These statements will be displayed alongside the artwork, giving visitors an opportunity to discover more about each artist’s creative journey and their relationship with the forest.

A portion from an artist statement:

“…What I discovered was that this connection to the forest was inseparable from a connection to my own True Self. The forest didn’t just offer shade or beauty; it offered a mirror. In its ancient silence, I could hear something reverberating from within, an inner voice I had long forgotten...”

We look forward to sharing these art works and the stories behind them with you, artists, Tilted Brick Gallery members, our Board Members and the Creston Community Forest Team.

Creston Community Forest in partnership with the Tilted Brick Gallery, presents Healing Forest: In honour of what Forests give us, a juried exhibition exploring the many ways forests shape our lives ecologically, economically, culturally, emotionally and recreationally. The exhibition celebrates artistic reflections on the vital and often intangible gifts forests give us.
