The newest addition to the gallery scene in Chilliwack, Grey Area Gallery, is a spacious contemporary display space that rivals big city galleries with it’s eclectic pieces featuring both established and emerging Canadian artists. Included in thegallery are works by two of our favourite local artists, Gary Haggquist and Vincent Mikuska.
It is refreshing to see such exhibits here that don’t only showcase photographic-like representations of our world but boldly explore the abstract as well.
The space and lighting are beautiful and there is some scattered seating in order that you may relax while you ponder; a nice place to hang out for a bit on a rainy Chilliwack afternoon.
A wonderful benefit to having this open and funky space is that it is available for rental for wedding receptions, corporate functions and presentations and even as a film set location.
If you are thinking of hosting an exclusive function that requires a secluded, high-style environment, contact proprietors Jacquie Simpson and Louisa de Vette who describe their new gallery as “ a great venue to exercise our love for Art by participating with the Chilliwack arts community in offering a space to exhibit the works of local artists and a place of purchase for art collectors. We also feel pleased to be bringing in artists of other communities that have caught our attention for their unique and contemporary style of painting. We represent over 40 artists in BC as well a couple of Alberta newcomers and look forward to the future as our search takes us across Canada in search of great work as well as a larger scope of art forms from pottery to sculpture to wood works.”
Grey Area has an all new collection of paintings filling in their Winter Show highlighting Lyle Schultz profiled in Galleries West Magazine. Early into the new Year they will be hosting an evening of beautiful and unique jewelry from a Italian master Roberto Fioravanti. Roberto will also be joined by two other artisans of his choice based on their precision of work and high craftsmanship.Tuesday - Friday 10-5Saturday 12-5.Grey Area GalleryThe Simpson Building101- 7408 Vedder Rd.Chilliwack BCV2R- 4E6
