Burnaby residents are invited to stop in to Burnaby Neighbourhood House to check out an art exhibition exploring the idea of home.
In the Neighbourhood is an art exhibition running until Friday, Dec. 22 at the North House, 4908 Hastings St.
It features the work of Dawn Livera, Tami Murray Cline and Ninna Snider, all exploring the idea of neighbourhood homes.
“The house form is deeply symbolic,” the artists said in a press release. “It’s one of the first images we create as children when asked to draw our community. Our home is instinctively included in that imagery.”
The artists note that a home is one of the basic necessities of life.
“It’s where we say we come from, it’s where we feel safe, and it’s the place that we dream about. … The longer we live in a neighbourhood, the more familiar faces we see each day; home becomes not just the building we live in but the community we create in our surroundings and the people who share that space with us.”
The exhibition is available for viewing Monday through Friday, 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Call 604-294-5444 or email [email protected] for more details.
