Fort Gallery is presenting two separate group exhibitions of new works during the first few weeks of September.
Three 91原创 artists, Suzanne Northcott, Lloyd Clefstad, and David Kimura are sharing their art, crafts, and photography at Fort Gallery 鈥� as well as the back garden and cedar studio 鈥� from Sept. 3 to 8.
For Northcott, her exhibited work continues the exploration of paintings and textiles into forms and patterns. Northcott said 鈥淭he Space Between Birds鈥� sparks a hopeful note of beauty.
After thirty years of cedar exports, Clefstad鈥檚 appreciation of wood and simple designs are represented in a collection offering unique pieces of west coast hardwoods and softwoods. Clefstad hopes people should expect functional, whimsical and repurposed art where the wood tells a story.
Kimura will present 鈥淚mprints,鈥漚 series of photographs that capture various colours and states of decomposing, fallen leaves, and the interaction on the background on which they rest.
An open house event for the one week event, titled 鈥淣orthcott Clefstad Kimura,鈥� will be held on Friday, Sept. 6, at 7 p.m. at the Fort Gallery, 9048 Glover Road in Fort 91原创.

Following that exhibition, Open Studio will follow, an annual program at the gallery which will feature new works by eight local artists from Sept. 11 to 22.
The Open Studio program was founded by Betty Spackman a number of years ago, which began as a way to provide a nurturing environment for emerging artists in the Lower Mainland.
Artists participating in this year鈥檚 exhibit are: June Burkholder, Karen Christensen, Trish Clarke, Marg Dorazio-Migliore, Yuri Grier, Lenka Nick, Helena Veikle and Rosemary Wallace.
The public is invited to attend the Open Studio Exhibition opening reception on Sunday, Sept. 15, from 2 to 5 p.m.
People can visit for more information on both exhibitions.
