Being with Whales

January 24, 25, & 26, 2025, 11 to 4 pm
Opening event January 17th, 2-4 pm

As a previous veterinarian, park naturalist, environmental scientist and educator, not to mention a cold water swimmer, kayaker and sailor, I am drawn to the denizens of the water. I have featured whales in my past art explorations, and I still feel there are so many more ways I can portray and explore them artistically. “Being with Whales” will feature watercolours, drawings, clay tiles, sculptures, large-scale sea kelp forests, paintings, poetry, and interactive artwork.

Stilllife: Art to Seize the Moment

Jan 31st to March 30th, 2025
Opening Gala: Feb 1st, 2-4 pm

For this exhibition, artists were invited to explore STILLlife in all its meanings and possibilities. While the classic concept of STILLlife can bring a carefully arranged scene to mind, the exhibition goes beyond tradition and embraces fresh interpretations of stillness. It celebrates how art can capture life and evokes the power and poignancy of being still.

Air: Our Place in the Atmosphere

Exhibition Dates: Apr 4 – May 25
Opening Gala: Apr 5, 2-4 pm
In observation of World Earth Day, ArtPod invites submissions to our annual show exploring one of the four elements. This year, we ask artists to interpret the physically constant but shapeless presence we call AIR.  Though invisible, it can be as subtle as a whisper, a breath, a breeze, or as impactful as a destructive weather event. It is both necessary to life, and yet able to end it.
