The Cowrie Street Banner Project began in 1994 as a joint venture between the Sechelt Chamber of Commerce and the Sunshine Coast Arts Council. In approximately 2003, the priorities of the Chamber of Commerce changed, and the project is now sponsored entirely by the Sunshine Coast Arts Council. From 1994–2014 the banners decorated Sechelt’s Cowrie and Wharf streets. As of 2014, the banners are hung in Sechelt’s Civic Square creating their own outdoor gallery.

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.
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.
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.
A zoom link will be provided to you 48 hours before the Artist Talk here.
Max 8 people in the gallery, livestreamed on SCAC’s Facebook Page

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.
