The Art Gallery & Gift Shop will be closed Saturday August 31st until Tuesday September 16th.  The Gift Shop will re-open on Tuesday September 17th 10-4 & we will be hosting our opening reception that evening from 7-9PM. 

We’re incredibly fortunate to have a free public gallery right here in Quesnel, thanks to the support of our community and the Arts & Rec Centre. Every year, the Centre undergoes essential maintenance to keep the building in top shape. During this time, the Quesnel Art Gallery will be temporarily closed for those two weeks.

Our dedicated volunteers will be back and ready to welcome you in September. We can’t wait to share our upcoming exhibits with you!

On August 1st, we hosted the opening of "Five Explore Our Cariboo," a captivating exhibit featuring the works of member artists Maureen Wheeler, Fred Paulson, Megan Long, Heather E.S Armstrong, and Keith Prestone. These local artists beautifully showcase the essence of the Cariboo through diverse styles and mediums.

Guests packed into our gallery space where they were greeted with live harp music, setting the scene to delve into pieces that highlight the region's natural beauty in an artful way. A special slideshow offers insights into the artists' creative process & can be viewed at the Gallery until the end of the exhibit. 
​
"Five Explore Our Cariboo" will be on display until August 29th at the Arts and Recreation Centre. Don't miss this opportunity to experience the unique perspectives of our talented local artists. Thank you to all those who were able to attend the opening reception, we can't wait to see you at the next one!

A big Thank You to the sponsor of this exhibit Cariboo Murals & Fine Art.
