SUMMARY:What We Hold Close Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:North Van Arts is proud to present our latest exhibition at Cityscape Community ArtSpace\, What We Hold Close. The exhibition runs from January 23 – February 28\, 2026. \nWhat We Hold Close is an exhibition exploring the physical and symbolic spaces of domestic life. From textiles to tortillas\, twenty-one artists explore the notion of home – being remembered\, being celebrated\, the act of leaving\, and everything in-between. The artists explore and question what they hold close; what comforts or confines them\, and how their relationships to domestic space evolve across generations and geographies. \nWhat We Hold Close presents a multiplicity of perspectives\, inviting dialogue around belonging\, memory\, and the layered nature of home. \nFeaturing Artworks by:\nKirsten Basilan\, Thompson Brennan\, YoungHwa Cha-Hach\, Madeleine Chaffee\, Kim Cooper\, Georgia Devonshire\, Faria Firoz\, Jen Frederickson\, Kirk Gower\, Vanessa Hagley\, Khim Hipol\, Carrie Hull\, Amanda Jordi\, Yanxiao Li\, Carol Mayer\, Tatjana Mirkov-Popovicki\, Kristi Poole-Adler\, Nicole Sylvia\, Silvia Tagusagawa\, Jinfei Wang\, Ketty “Haolin” Zhang \nCityScape is a free community gallery open Wednesday – Saturday\, 11am – 5pm.

SUMMARY:What's in the Pot? A Celebration of Salt Spring Island's Farming Tradition
DESCRIPTION:An open invitation to the people of Salt Spring Island and beyond to learn about the impact of agriculture on our island’s history and traditions\, to discover the forgotten stories of the various people\, families and communities\, their amazing food harvests\, and to discuss contemporary food security\, who we are and where we come from. \nIn recognition of this year’s theme Stir the Pot\, we invite islanders and visitors to find out What’s in the Pot?  and explore what they know about the history of production of food on Salt Spring Island. What’s in the Pot? seeks to fill some of the gaps in local knowledge and identity. \nThe event will be held daily from 11am to 3pm\, from Monday\, February 16 to Sunday\, February 22 at the Salt Spring Museum on the grounds of the Salt Spring Island Farmers’ Institute on Rainbow Road. The event is family-friendly\, drop-in\, school tours\, seniors and youth are all welcome. \nWalking tours will be provided by volunteers.\nAdmission is free\, donations are much appreciated. \nSalt Spring Island “will always be remembered as absolutely the first agricultural settlement in the then Colony of Vancouver (Island)” – Edward Mallandaine in his British Columbia Directory\, 1887
