Surrey Art Gallery presents Surrey Artswest Society to October 13
SURREY ART GALLERY is presenting a new exhibition that celebrates local talent. On display until October 13, Surrey Artswest Society features works by the organization’s members, spanning paintings, drawings, mixed-media works, ceramic sculptures, and more.
The goal is to showcase the diversity of artists’ responses to the world around them. Thematically, the works range from the breathtaking beauty of the natural world and local wildlife to experiences of personal loss and the search for inner peace via artmaking.

Surrey Artswest Society is just one show at the Surrey Art Gallery this summer. Also on offer are Future Memoria, a showcase of works from the venue’s permanent collection that address utopia, dystopia, and the future, on until August 25; and Cheryl Pagurek: Winter Garden, an interactive video collage, on until December 8.
A nonprofit group dedicated to the promotion of local artmaking and education, Surrey Artswest Society supports art-related activities throughout the Fraser Valley, bringing together novice and experienced artists, offering live demonstrations from practising artists, and providing exhibition opportunities such as this one.
