The Pearl Ellis Gallery is delighted to present Flourish, its annual Summer Members Show, on display from May 26 to June 20. This vibrant exhibition celebrates the beauty and abundance of the season through the eyes of local artists, with works that capture the warmth, colour, and energy of summer.

Featuring 30 artists from throughout the Comox Valley, the exhibition highlights a diverse collection of painting, photography, sculpture, and mixed media works. Inspired by gardens, coastlines, wildlife, and the changing light of summer, the pieces in Flourish reflect both the beauty of the natural world and the unique perspectives of the artists who call this region home.

An opening reception will be held on Saturday, May 30, from 1:00 to 3:00 pm. Visitors are invited to enjoy refreshments, connect with participating artists, and experience the exhibition in a welcoming community setting.

In addition to the Flourish show, the Pearl’s Spotlight on Craft area has rotated in three new featured artists - ceramics by Rumour Blunt, silk art by Karen Hasegawa, and fabric dolls by Anna-Maria Lawrie. All artwork, crafts, and a selection of locally made art cards are available for purchase.
