Transforming Our Space:
The Impact of Grants on Our Non-Profit Gallery

Our display window just got an upgrade thanks to a generous grant from the Quesnel Arts Council! With a new black lining and a new hanging system, our window is now more visually striking and inviting.

This renovation to our display window not only enhances the look of our gallery but also provides a professional setting for local artists to showcase their work.

We're very thankful to have received the grant from the Quesnel Arts Council. We extend our gratitude to volunteers Marguerite Hall, Sue Ellen Miller, and Lori Stolarski for their time and hard work on the installation.

Grants play a crucial role in supporting our non-profit organization, not only allowing us to operate our free public art space, but also offering opportunities to grow and expand. We are incredibly grateful to the Quesnel Arts Council for their project grant, which allowed us to create this stunning new display window.

We also want to take a moment to acknowledge the hard work of all our volunteers, none of this would be possible without their continued support and efforts.

Stop by and see the amazing "HOME" exhibit by Lesley Kuhn, and show your support for the Quesnel Art Gallery and our vibrant arts community.

Thank you for supporting YOUR Quesnel Art Gallery & Gift Shop.

We hope to see you soon!
