Jim Adams: A Retrospective
High Muck A Muck: Playing Chinese
Apr 8−June 11
Opening Party: Saturday, April 8 | 7:30−9:30pm
Surrey-based artist Jim Adams paints landscapes and
portraits inspired by local peoples and geographies and
those of ancient civilizations including Africa.
In the TechLab, interact with High Muck A Muck, an
installation that explores Chinese immigration to the west
coast of Canada—both historical and contemporary.
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 .
Opening receptions are a fun way to see new art and
connect with people.
We love seeing families create art together at our Family
Sundays.
