Salt Spring Woodworks is about to become the Celia Duthie Gallery. We feel that the gallery has evolved over our six years from woodwork to art and that distinction needs to be made. We will continue to exhibit the mix of studio furniture, sculpture, prints and landscape art that we now show. The artists hitherto represented by the gallery remain and many new artists are in the wings with fresh new works.
The second Summer Lights show will open July 1st-- this year featuring the dazzling and shapely lanterns of Peter Pierobon. The Night Gallery, a huge hit last summer, will be open (at least) 5 nights a week 9 - 11, with extended display space and more illumnation.
The name change accompanies a physical change as well; the back room of the gallery was damaged by falling branches, the roof pierced five times, one javelin branch impaled in the floor, Richard Tetrault’s wonderful print of the Lion’s Gate bridge - stabbed right in the centre! So we will be beginning a renovation and slight expansion to be ready in March. At the moment only the front part of the gallery and the cabin are open - Friday,Saturday Sunday 10 - 5 or by appointment.
