Current and upcoming exhibits
Not, about nothing by Corina Hanson
Extended to September 14, 2025
July 10鈥揝eptember 14, 2025
Opening reception: July 10, 2025, 4:30鈥6:00pm
About the exhibit:
Not, about nothing features two collections, 鈥淭he Traveler Series鈥 and 鈥淭o Re-examine鈥 by Vancouver-based artist Corina Hanson.
鈥淭he Traveler Series鈥 was created while Hanson was travelling in her Airstream trailer. Each work is influenced by a changing landscape of local flora and the emotional journey of a nomadic artist. A closer look at these smaller scale works reveals hidden pieces of tissue, tidal charts, music notes and journal pages.
In 鈥淭o Re-examine,鈥 Hanson uses layers of vibrant paints, charcoal and pencil crayon to develop an overlapping effect. She adds and subtracts from the canvas using scratching, spritzing and rubbing techniques that add texture to the bold canvases.
Corina Hanson has a diverse range of art practices. Professionally trained as a fashion designer, her career has evolved from textiles to site specific installations, socially engaged art, mosaic, mixed media and painting. Now working predominantly in mixed media and acrylic painting, she is inspired by the natural world, poetry, music and the changing quality of light one sees throughout the day.

Celebrating Indigenous Artistry
September 18 - December 12, 2025
Opening reception: September 18, 2025, 4:30鈥6:00pm
About the exhibit:
n the spirit of 办史讫肠蝉迟讫虫史, the Amelia Douglas Gallery at 糖心vlog传媒invites you to join us in witnessing the achievements of seven inspiring Indigenous artists who exemplify creativity, ingenuity, and excellence. In their own unique way, each of these artists honours their ancestral traditions while engaging contemporary art forms and media in new ways. Their work serves as a testament to their resilience and innovation, bridging past and present in ways that resonate with both cultural significance and artistic originality.
By embracing the essence of 办史讫肠蝉迟讫虫史, we see and support the diverse expressions of Indigenous artistry. This celebration is not merely an exhibition but a opportunity for our College and wider community to bear witness to the vibrant contributions of these artists. Their creations offer insight into their stories, histories and futures, inviting viewers to recognize the depth and diversity of Indigenous artistic expression. As we engage with their art, we are invited to reflect on our own roles in fostering a deeper understanding and respect for Indigenous ways of knowing, being, doing and becoming.
This exhibition showcases works by Christiano Bruno, Khya Hagarty, Zoe Lamaire, Bella MacKenzie, Alexis Macdonald Seto, Rachel Vallier, and Jenna Visitor.
We invite you to join us for the opening reception on September 18, 2025, from 4:30 to 6:00 pm at the Amelia Douglas Gallery, fourth floor north, Douglas College, 700 Royal Avenue, New Westminster. The event will feature live music performed by 糖心vlog传媒students and complimentary snacks.
