Convergent Program
RETURN TO WATER 2024
Starting in 2020, the Comox Valley Art Gallery has held programming that instigates consideration of how we as human beings are in relationship with the waters of this region. The exhibitions presented and art-based community activations recognize that everything is connected to water. This year, the program looks to the past, considers the present, and envisions a future in which harmonic balance with the watershed is restored.
