Last Week – Gill Kopy Memorial show
‘What an exciting world it is – to open one’s eyes and to discover beauty all around you.’
This is the last week to come in and see the wonderful works of Gill Kopy during this memorial show. All of the works that were donated to this show have been available for sale by donation which has gone towards the Monashee Arts Council student bursary fund which assists artists of all ages who wish to continue lesson plans in the Arts. We have been so thankful for the support from our wonderful community.
The Village Gallery is located at 1975 Vernon St, Lumby BC and is open Monday – Saturday 10am – 4pm

Call for Artists – ‘Water’
Everyday, indeed every hour Water is disappearing from our lands, forests, lakes, rivers, streams, estuaries and more. This is a worldwide disaster and has already caused starvation and death in many countries. Climate change is responsible for melting ice, rising sea levels, floods and droughts.
In BC, along with many other provinces in Canada where land and water are considered to be abundant, we are feeling the destruction caused by the rising temperatures and warming waters. Many of these disasters are manmade, starting as far back as the Industrial Revolution, and it has only continued to escalate rapidly over the last fifty to sixty years.
Everyone knows the saying “Water, water everywhere, and not a drop to drink” while this isn’t an exact quote of the original poem, it has never been truer in our changing world.
71% of the earth is covered by it, yet less than 3% is drinkable. It is an inorganic compound described by the simple formula of H2O, transparent, tasteless, odorless and nearly colorless, it exists in all forms solid, liquid, and gas, and it moves continually through a cycle of evaporation, transpiration, condensation, precipitation and run off. Yet it is one of the compounds in our world that life would be impossible without.
Submission date April 6th at the Village Gallery
