Happy humpday, Victoria.
As we are halfway through a chilly work week, what better way to get out of the cold than to attend a local event happening near you?
From art shows to festive trees, here are five things to do in and around town this Wednesday, November 30th:
Objects of Interest
A photographic exhibit of diverse works from two ongoing projects regarding the “object.” Objects found in nature, and objects found in everyday life.
In a world where digital images are now ubiquitous, visual artist Gary Chilibeck discovers new ways of expressing familiar objects through his photographs.
Gary attempts to find new ways of perceiving these objects through the use of cameras, scanners and software, altering the images for printing.
