5:00 PM to 7:00 PM

Jill Ehlert is an artist based in Cobble Hill, BC., who creates mixed media collages inspired by nature and organic forms. She says, "My current work is inspired by intertidal ecosystems. I create collage materials by manipulating paper through staining, burning and piercing holes. These materials and processes yield results that echo the shapes and patterns I observe in tidal pools and the rocky foreshore.

If you can't attend the grand opening, the exhibit runs until October 31. Gallery hours: Saturdays 10 am - 2 pm (Artist in Residence); Mondays 10 am - 2 pm; Wednesdays 9:30 - 11:30 am.

The Chapel Gallery is a new initiative. The Gallery invites the local arts community to exhibit a variety of visual art mediums. The Gallery particularly seeks works of a socially relevant, contemplative and reflective nature. The Gallery sees itself as a gallery “like no other”. There are other multifunctional, not-for-profit spaces, but the Gallery envisions ongoing beneficial and educational interaction with the community -- including those who might never have visited an “art gallery” before.

The Gallery is located at St. Matthias Church, and the Gallery offers a way to share our understanding of the creativity of the Divine with the community – including those who might never think of entering a church. The folk of St. Matthias welcome the community to a safe space for appreciating creativity.
