A group of artist neighbours from Burnaby North have their work on display at Burnaby Neighbourhood House next month.
The Neighbourhood House north location, at 4908 Hastings St., will be showing the work of the Gamma Garage artist group for the month of October.
The group includes Dianne Yard, Pat Sexsmith, Sheila Chowdhury and Wilma Cook. Yard, Sexsmith and Chowdhury, who all live on the same block of Gamma Avenue, discovered at a neighbourhood get-together that all three were painters. They decided to begin meeting to share their work, and they soon invited Cook – a friend and fellow painter – to join them.
The group takes its name from Chowdhury’s studio, a converted garage where they have held an annual show for the past 15 years.
The artists have also been involved in the Living Room Art in the Heights event for the past three years.
Their exhibition at Burnaby Neighbourhood House can be seen Monday to Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. For more information, email [email protected] or call 604-294-5444.
