September 23−December 10
Opening Party: Saturday, Sep 23 | 7:30−9pm
We’re kicking off fall with an exhibition responding
to notions of the land and Canadian identity through
contemporary sculpture, audio, and video art. This
exhibition features a diverse group of creators including
nationally renowned Indigenous artists and others from
across the country.
We’ve got other exhibits on view too! Over the course
of the exhibits, events like talks, tours, and Family
Sunday—where families explore, enjoy, and create art
together—are fun and engaging opportunities to connect
with the artworks and the ideas behind them. Find out
more at .
Enjoy contemporary art and meet other art-interested
people at our fun and free opening parties!
Art Instructor PROFILES
Surrey Art Gallery invites you to learn
with instructors who are experienced art
educators and practicing artists. Here are
three of our fall instructors.
Carly Mucha
Carly loves handmade pots.
Her work responds to the
vulnerability of the human
body and the contours of
organic forms in nature.
Raised in Chilliwack, BC,
she was inspired to become
an artist by the high
school art teachers who
encouraged her. Following
graduation, Carly studied ceramics at the Kootenay
School of the Arts in Nelson, BC. She earned her BFA in
Ceramics at Emily Carr University of Art + Design. Carly is
a member of the Dusty Babes Collective in South Surrey,
and is an instructor and the new Studio Operator at
Surrey Art Gallery.
April Davis
April is a practicing artist
and art instructor with
experience in a broad range
of artistic mediums and
processes. She has her BFA
from Emily Carr University
where she received the
Governor General’s Award
upon graduation. April
believes that through an
appreciation of art and participation in the creative
process, we become more aware of ourselves and the
world around us. She loves to share in this experience
with others through her teaching. April instructs Surrey
Art Gallery’s School Programs, which will be starting
again in October.
Lyn Lay
Lyn has been a part of the
local arts community for
forty years. Art education
from Douglas and Kwantlen
colleges, combined with
fifteen years in early
childhood education and
her active background
in performing and visual
arts, contribute to a rich
foundation for her creative skills. Lyn loves creating
art with children, as they seem to be open to a world
of limitless creative possibilities. Currently, she is the
coordinator of the Youth Arts Council of Surrey and
mentors youth in visual, performing, and literary arts.
This fall, Lyn will be teaching School’s Out Art Adventure
and Paint at the Play.
