Our club is taking a breather from exhibiting this month at our gallery space downstairs at the Medical Centre on Church Street. We’ve loaned the space to The Palette People for a painting exhibit, which will run until April 11, when our next photography show will start. You can see The Palette People’s exhibit, Mondays through Fridays during business hours.

Meanwhile, over on North Road, Gabriola Photography Club’s group exhibit continues at Gabriola Chiropractic, where patients have until March 31 to see the 32 prints on display . Participating photographers are Linda Blokhuisen, Sally Bullas, Laurie MacBride, Joan Owen, Sher Falls, Corinne Flaws and Steve Struthers.

As an ongoing project, Gabriola Photography Club curates the art display space downstairs at the Gabriola Medical Clinic on Church Street, Gabriola Island. Club members take turns having solo exhibitions or taking part in group exhibitions.

The coming of the new year turns out to be a busy time for Gabriola Photography Club! Eight or our members are displaying their work in two separate print exhibitions here on Gabriola Island.

Downstairs at the Medical Centre on Church Street, a new exhibit hosts a variety of prints – both colour and monochrome – by club members Linda Blokhuisen, Sally Bullas, John Konovsky, Laurie MacBride and Joan Owen. The show is on now and will run until February 20, Mondays through Fridays during daytime hours.

Meanwhile, over on North Road, patients of Gabriola Chiropractic will be in for a visual feast, with 32 prints on display from January 1 until March 31 during business hours. Seven club members are involved, including Linda, Sally, Laurie and Joan, along with Sher Falls, Corinne Flaws and Steve Struthers.

While our club continues to show our work downstairs at the Gabriola Medical Centre, this month you’ll find a new exhibit by one of our members upstairs as well.

“Adventures in Photography” is a new show by Corinne Flaws, a visual artist and photographer who specializes in landscape, wildlife and abstract imagery.

Corinne has always had a passion for nature and for capturing its beauty. It inspires her to share what she sees, through her photographs and her other art. As well as producing beautiful photographs, she enjoys capturing images with her camera to use as inspiration for her paintings.    

Corinne moved from Winnipeg to Gabriola Island in 2020. This show includes a collection of her favourite images captured right here on Gabriola and on Vancouver Island, as well as from Manitoba and her travels in Utah and Oregon, and the Shetland Isles.

The exhibit will be on display upstairs at the Medical Centre until January 10, 2025.

“She’s Messing About Again…!” – on now, until Dec. 27

We’re delighted to present Diane Green‘s latest solo show. In Diane’s own words:

The ever-increasing use of artificial intelligence is affecting almost every aspect of our lives. It is now nearly impossible to tell (when done well!) whether an image – or even a voice – is original, altered, or completely artificially created. In many ways this is all a frightening prospect for the future.

ON THE OTHER HAND……!
“Messing about” with AI in the arts field can be a lot of fun and can enhance creativity exponentially.

What is the dividing line between photography and “art”? Art created using paint does not have to justify itself when it doesn’t exactly recreate reality! Photography (unless journalistic photography which has to be 100% unmanipulated) should be similarly accepted as art, “messed around with” or not!

The resulting images in this exhibit are created from my original photographs, sometimes manipulated to different degrees using tried and true programs like Photoshop, but now may also be amended in a variety of ways using artificial intelligence.

So “let’s play”!

Gabriola Photography Club’s Fall Show & Sale will take place this year on Sunday, November 24. It’s our annual opportunity to share our work with the rest of the Gabriola Island community – and a great antidote to the dark days of late fall!

This fun, free event takes place from 12:00 to 4:00 pm at the Rollo Centre (685 North Road, in the Village, across from the school).

In addition to all the gorgeous prints, greeting cards and photographic gifts that you’ll find there, the Show is a good opportunity to meet some of the folks involved in the Gabriola Photography Club and learn more about our group, which welcomes new members.
