Surrey Art Gallery is pleased to announce Marking the Season featuring work from members of the South Surrey and White Rock Arts Society, on display from August 8 until November 1. Admission is free.

Over the past year, members of the Society took their sketchbooks, paints, and folding chairs and headed outdoors to depict the ever-changing landscape of Bear Creek Park. Working plein air through sunshine, clouds, blossoms, and falling leaves, each artist returned to favourite spots throughout the park, capturing the changing seasons one brushstroke at a time.

Marking the Season will be celebrated along with the Gallery’s fall exhibitions at the opening art party on October 3 from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

On Thursday, October 1 from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., exhibiting artist Jess Rice, from Marking the Season, gives an artist talk and leads a watercolour-making activity as part of Surrey Art Gallery Association’s free Thursday Artist Talk series.
