COMMUNITY GALLERY Open to public Thursdays through Sundays from 1 to 4 pm
The Langham Community Gallery began with a community iniatives grant for a project called 'Creative Community'.
The gallery's focus is on local, emerging artists and work is shown via solo shows or group shows open to all area
artists. Past shows have included a group of artists from Kaslo's Primary Care Centre, a group of recent high-school
graduates and the popular 'Art for the Earth' in celebration of Earth Day. Artists have ranged in age from 3 to 85 and
represent all areas of our community.

July 23-Aug 22: Shelley Ross (watercolour):

Shelley Ross' exhibition of watercolour paintings, "Lichens of the Kootenay Valley: Lovely, Luscious and Likeable" is the result of a year's exploration of the lichens that grow in this region. Although her academic background is in biology, in nature, she sees colour, form and patterns before species identification and classification.
Shelley is a self-proclaimed messenger for an under-appreciated life form. Her watercolours bring light to the unusual, intricate forms and beautiful colours provided by these organisms. Her work invites/ urges us, as viewers to carry the intrigue of her exhibition to the out of doors - to our great forests, where one can appreciate the myriad of lichens growing there first-hand.
