It’s an art show with a message that resonates – especially at this time of year.
Unity of Spirits, a new exhibition presented by Union Gospel Mission New Westminster, is underway at the Anvil Centre Community Art Space until Feb. 2.
Unity of Spirits includes works on paper by participants in the Healing Through Art program, a course based at the UGM’s resource centre in New Westminster. The program makes art accessible for people experiencing barriers such as homelessness, poverty and addiction.
Participating artists worked with artist Melissa Thorpe Bernardis and community and outreach supervisor Edith Tazumi to create the work on display – which varies from pop-art-inspired imagery to geometric abstractions and landscapes.
Check it out – admission to the gallery is always free. It’s on the third floor at the Anvil Centre, 777 Columbia St.
An opening reception is set for this afternoon (Friday, Dec. 8) from 4 to 6 p.m. All are welcome.
