The past several years has brought into focus the nature of impermanence in our daily lives. Living “in the moment” has taken on greater meaning and importance. Being in the moment can evoke countless ideas, observing the calm and quiet that results from time slowing down, the richness of colour as the sun sets, the subtle beauty of a rising full moon and the crystal formations that comprise the hoarfrost in the trees are moments in time there for us to observe and contemplate.
West Kootenay artists/artisans were encouraged to respond to this theme with new and recent ideas and works. All original visual art works had to have been completed within the last two years and were open to submissions for all mediums by visual artists of all ages.
