About the Exhibition

Eric Goldstein – Poetic Narratives with Kinetic Energy

By distilling the fundamental elements of line, colour and texture from the West Coast landscapes around us, Eric's art celebrates the boundless beauty playing out on our natural stage, not merely its outward appearance but the profound emotions it elicits by being incomprehensible, indescribable, and brimming with chaos. Rather than imposing order, he embraces the chaos, allowing his canvases to become “Poetic Narratives with Kinetic Energy”. Each piece is an invitation to delve into the emotional landscapes that bridge visual storytelling with the tactile experience of mixed-media art.

Christine Germano – Convergence: Fragments of a Changing World

Christine's work explores the intersection of climate change, community, and place. Through photography and socially engaged art practices, she conveys experiential knowledge of the climate crisis – knowledge that is lived, felt, and witnessed by those most affected. This series focuses on the Arctic and Small Island Developing States, including Greenland, Norway, Nunavut, Russia, Tuvalu, Samoa, Kiribati, the Marshall Islands, and Barbuda. Composite photographs merge portraits and panoramic landscapes, creating a visual dialogue between the awe-inspiring splendour of these regions and the resilience of their communities. 

Vancouver Community College – Jewellery Art and Design Graduates exhibit

The exhibition will also feature work from Isis Costa, Wai Yin Corinne Cheng, Cynthia (Cindy) Rattray, and Tyler Scalabrino; students and graduates from Vancouver Community College’s Jewellery Arts and Design Program.
