SUMMARY:Soft Architectures
DESCRIPTION:Sylvan Hamburger\n\n\n\n\n\nCaroline Galbraith GalleryJuly 25 – October 8\, 2025 \n\n\n\nOpening Reception: Thursday\, July 24\, from 6–8 PM \n\n\n\n\n    \n        Exhibition Publication    \n\n\n\nIn Soft Architectures\, Vancouver-based artist Sylvan Hamburger transforms everyday materials—bedsheets\, plywood\, floral fabrics—into large-scale installations that reflect on the changing face of our cities. Using printmaking\, sculpture\, and found objects\, Hamburger captures the textures of demolished homes and disappearing buildings\, turning them into poetic imprints of memory\, loss\, and resilience. \n\n\n\nHis prints don’t just depict buildings—they are made from them. By pressing fabrics against salvaged wood and walls\, Hamburger gathers physical traces of the spaces we live in\, and the ones we’ve lost. These haunting\, delicate works explore how the surfaces around us—like the grain of old floorboards or the floral pattern of a bedsheet—can hold personal and collective histories. \n\n\n\nSoft Architectures brings together work from the past five years\, documenting not only physical spaces\, but the emotional and cultural imprints they leave behind. At a time of intense change in our communities\, Hamburger’s work offers a thoughtful reminder to look closely at the surfaces around us\, noticing the textures and traces that are often erased in the rush of redevelopment. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage Description: Sylvan Hamburger\, Open House Press (detail)\, 2020\, relief print on bedsheet\, wooden dowels\, shiplap boards.

SUMMARY:Call for Artists (Members Show) — Submissions Now Closed
DESCRIPTION:Installation view of the 2024 Members Exhibition: Exposed! \n\n\n\nMembers are invited to submit original artwork for inclusion in our upcoming Members Exhibition\, Exposed!\, on view from October 16 – December 19\, 2025\, at the Vernon Public Art Gallery.  \n\n\n\nThis much-anticipated show offers artists of all backgrounds and experience levels the opportunity to present their work in a professional gallery setting. As a fundraiser for the Gallery\, artists are encouraged to make their works available for sale\, with a portion of proceeds supporting VPAG’s exhibitions and programs. New this year\, however\, members may also choose to list their work as Not For Sale (NFS)\, ensuring that everyone can participate without the pressure of selling. \n\n\n\nAbove all\, the Members’ Exhibition is about giving back to those who support us year-round. This is your opportunity to bring out your best work and share your talents with the community in a professional gallery environment. We are proud to showcase the diverse creativity of our membership and to celebrate the vital role you play in sustaining the arts in our region. \n\n\n\nHow to Participate \n\n\n\n\nOpen to all current VPAG members\n\n\n\nSubmit up to two artworks in any medium (painting\, sculpture\, photography\, mixed media\, etc.)\n\n\n\nMaximum size: 24 x 36 inches (2D) or 50” total dimensions (3D)\n\n\n\nWorks must be ready to hang or display\n\n\n\nSales encouraged as part of our fundraiser (30% commission applies)\, with the option to list works as Not for Sale (NFS)\n\n\n\nWorks must be delivered to the Gallery on or before October 3\, 2025\n\n\n\n\n*New* this year we’ve added an NFS (Not-For-Sale) option for artists who wish to participate but do not want to sell their work. While this exhibition remains a gallery fundraiser\, we also recognize that offering a platform for members to share their artwork without the pressure of sales is important. This shift is part of our longer-term vision to transform the Members’ Exhibition into a fully Not-for-Sale exhibition\, reflecting our role as a public gallery where the focus remains on presenting art in a non-commercial context. Above all\, this exhibition is about celebrating you and your creative contributions to our community! \n\n\n\n\n    \n        DIGITAL FORM – Complete the form online and submit instantly!    \n\n\n\n\n    \n        PRINTABLE FORM – Printable pdf form to submit in person at vpag
