The Station House Gallery is inviting submissions from local artists to participate in its April show titled All Aboard.
“We are calling on artists to contribute pieces for All Aboard, inspired by the Station House Gallery and the community that keeps us going,” says gallery exibition co-ordinator Brandon Hoffman.
He says All Aboard is a show dedicated to the people, culture, and landscape surrounding the Station House Gallery. Originally built in 1920, the Station House has been a focal point of Cariboo arts and culture since it was converted from a retired BCR train station in 1981.
“As charming as the building itself may be, the gallery is more than just a pretty face,” Hoffman says.
“We pride ourselves in continually showcasing the best local and visiting artists, and constantly keeping our loyal membership on their toes.
“The staff, directors, and volunteers at the Station House Gallery are incredibly grateful for the community support we have received for the past 35 years.”
He says artists are encouraged to interpret the theme and take it in their own direction.
For more information on the proposal call artists can contact Hoffman at coordinator@stationhousegallery.com.
The opening reception for this exhibition will align with the gallery’s April fundraising gala, The Station House Express, featuring live music, wine and cheese, auctions and more.
