Hello to our lovely Valley community!

We hope that you are finding some sunny days and time well spent in the mountains. As we wait to see what’s next up in pandemic life, we invite you down to Pynelogs to enjoy the Art of Nature featuring the art of Jack Olson, Denise Hoffgaard, Angelique Gillespie, Louise Wright, Ed Flanagan and Elizabeth Stuart.  These six talented artists have a wonderfully unique view of the world surrounding us, with bold contemporary colors bringing personality and charm to pieces that capture intimate moments and secret spots frozen in time.  From a piercing wolf’s stare in the forest, that seems a bit too close for comfort captured by Denise Hoffgaard (that’s a zoom lens right Denise?), to the towering granite spires of the Bugaboos in brilliant spring color, by Louise Wright, there’s a little bit of adventure to be had from the comfort of our gallery walls. 

We are also excited to be showcasing the talents of our local birdhouse makers from the Wings Over the Rockies birdhouse building competition! From made from scratch birdhouses, to kits provided by Home Hardware and painted by classes at J.A. Laird elementary school, there’s a “Home Tweet Home” for every…one!

Join us for another great show, The Art of Nature is on now in the Gallery from May 10 to May 29. 

While we continue to welcome people to the gallery at this time, this exhibit will also be featured virtually; follow us along on Instagram and Facebook @columbiavalleyarts for online viewing. 

The gallery is open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday, so come on down! 

And while we have been going through some changes too, we are still the same Columbia Valley Arts that you know and love, and we couldn’t do it without you! 

Become a member today, get informed and have your say! Our AGM is coming up quick on June 14 at 7 p.m. Please contact [email protected] if you would like to join the conversation and be a part of what makes CV Arts great. We would love to have you!  The Arts are for Everyone.
