About the Event
Cross-border creativity, connection, and cultural exchange are the inspiration behind a new contemporary art exhibition centered on the Salish Sea.
ArtSpring, in collaboration with Salt Spring Arts, will debut a collection of work by San Juan Islands artists from April 21st through May 24th, in the first of two cross-border exhibitions. The second installment will feature Southern Gulf Island artists at the San Juan Islands Museum of Art from September 22nd - December 4th, 2023.
The exchange and presentation of work that, while separated by an international boundary nevertheless shares important themes and messages, feels both timely and necessary. It is a development that both ArtSpring and SJIMA are committed to supporting. “This exhibition serves as an opportunity for artists, as well as art centers, to engage in meaningful cultural exchange, foster relationships, introduce our communities to world-class artistic excellence, and form a bit of pride that for such a small specific region, we can celebrate something unique on the global stage,” says Howard Jang.
