It's almost the last week to check out the Art of Migration at Art Gallery of Golden! If you haven't seen it yet, make sure to take some time to give it a look.

In partnership with the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL), Art of Migration pairs local artists with newcomers to Canada. Each artist collaboration has created a unique piece of work in their chosen medium, reflecting the challenges, triumphs, and lived experiences of the migration journey.

This exhibition highlights the power of storytelling through art and invites us to reflect on the importance of welcoming newcomers into our communities.

🌿 Happy BC Day! 🌞
