A new Creation Station location has been secured by the Smithers Art Gallery.
The organization started searching for a new facility to run programming in November last year after the town chose not to renew their lease.
“It’s a huge weight off our shoulders,” said Gallery Manager Nicole Chernish.
“It means we can get started planning and do programing in the fall, and it means we can start looking to the future and what the Creation Station looks like for the next few years.”
They will be moving into the current Steelhead’s Hair Design location at 3868 Broadway Avenue in June.
The space will first be used for their upcoming artist residency while programing continues at their current Railway Avenue location.
“There’s very little we have to do to it to get it ready but we will be one room, so it is going to look a little different,” said Chernish.
Their current location has two rooms which allow for multiple programs to run simultaneously – something they won’t be able to do at the new location.
