The title marks a shift from Kaur’s painting Symbol Harvester, where the term functions as a noun and an active verb, emphasizing movement and transformation. From a central, blue-hued figure, green vegetation grows from the character’s hands, unfurling into living vines that bear evolving symbols. These forms suggest an inner world, seeds of imagination producing symbolic fruit that functions as a visual language. Translating imagery from a three-foot-wide acrylic painting with hand embroidery and beading, the work reflects on farming and harvesting as practices of care and gathering.

Exhibition begins 30 minutes after sunset and ends at midnight.

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.

It takes two to tango and two to pull off a wild musical murder comedy!
Murder for Two is the story of a disastrous surprise birthday party for novelist Arthur Whitney. The big surprise was that one of the guests murdered the novelist because he had the habit of revealing his friends darkest, naughtiest secrets in his novels.

First on the scene is small town cop Marcus Moscowicz, who has dreams of becoming a big city detective, and solving this case in record time could be his ticket to the big time. There are 13 suspects and they all have good reason to want Whitney dead and buried, so Moscowicz has his job cut out for him.
