Living spaces are a fundamental need of human existence. From suite, apartment or house to van, closet, bridge overpass or sidewalk. From lavish mansion to out of reach single family home. From the hearth and home to the commodified real estate investment. Shared living spaces: the raccoon in the attic, the mouse under the fridge, six in a one-bedroom condo. Living spaces can present the biggest challenge not only in our small mountain town, but across the province, the country and the world.

Living spaces extend to the artist’s studio (minivan, plein air or well-lit studio), the blank canvas, positive and negative spaces, the still life. Beyond the external, living spaces are a reflection of the artist’s interior, emotional world. In this exhibition, artists working in various mediums are invited to explore living spaces in all their manifestations.
