The Skeena Salmon Arts Festival is making a stop in Smithers to feature at the Art Gallery starting today. (Thursday)
The show features artists with connection to the Skeena, Nass, and Bulkley watersheds celebrating salmon as a life sustaining species.
The gallery said some of the work includes carving, painting, sculpture,
photography, clay, jewelry, and fabric.
“When we started this show seven years ago, we had no idea how strongly our northern communities and artists would embrace this concept,” said Art Festival President Dave Gordon.
The show first opened this year on August 1st in Terrace and showed at the Nisga’a Museum last month.
An opening reception is being held tomorrow (Friday) night at 7:00 with the show available to visit until November 8th.
