Art Exhibition: Lucas Kratochwil, “Immersion in Nature”
July 17-August 16. The exhibition seeks to bring back the attention of the viewer toward nature and remind us we are here only as visitors and it is our responsibility to take care of this planet. These paintings aim to have viewers feel immersed in nature, struck, non-existing, in complete awe, and at peace.
Artist Talk: Veronica Trujillo and Lucas Kratochwil
Join exhibiting artists Veronica Trujillo and Lucas Kratochwil for a discussion on their practices and approach to painting. While remarkably different in their final form both artists are driven by a curiosity to express the natural world around them.

Art Exhibition: Veronica Trujilo, Forest Skin
July 17-August 16. Forest Skin is an exhibition of work by Squamish-based artist Veronica Trujillo.
Forest Skin was born between thoughts and daily walks as an exercise in approaching the environment and its community where she currently lives. Starting from the notion of exploring the human-landscape interaction through painting. The landscape observes us with an external face that has been formed with the time. Not only naturally but also by the uninterrupted human persistence.

ARTIST TALK Online : : Romi Kim, Marilyn Marshall Jan Legault and Craig Cochrane (Moderator: Anna Nobile)
The Sunshine Coast Arts Council invites you to join an online discussion with artists in our upcoming exhibition “Performing Flux”, with works by artists Romi Kim, Marilyn Marshall, Jan Legault and Craig Cochrane. As the fifth anniversary of the Sunshine Coast’s LGBTQ2+ art show, the works in photography, video and painting and explore issues of gender, identity, and sexuality. Capturing for a moment in time what is in a perpetual state of flux, the works have a wonderful resonance for the pauses, suspensions and changes we are all experiencing during the pandemic.
