‘Monashee Quilters 30 years of Quilts’
May 4 – May 29
Monashee Quilters Circle of Lumby is proudly celebrating 30 years of creating cozy handmade quilts and related items. We started out as a hand full of women getting together at someone’s home it grew into a dedicated group of 27 plus women getting together every week to share some laughs, conversation and ideas for things to come. We all work on our individual projects as well as group projects.
Many of these items have been donated back into the community. Two of our most recent projects were donating over 50 handmade items to Monashee Mews care home followed by a free monthly quilt raffle for residence of Saddle Mountain, 17 quilts donated in all.

‘Understory – The Secret Life of Plants‘
June 1st – June 26th
“Understory” is a themed group exhibition taking place throughout June at the Village Gallery in Lumby. This show invites artists to explore the hidden, overlooked, and imaginative dimensions of the plant life that surrounds us every day. From roots to canopy, micro to monumental, we’re looking for unusual perspectives on the familiar—works that reveal what might be happening beneath the surface or beyond what the eye typically sees.
Artists of all levels are encouraged to participate. All media and styles are welcome, including painting, sculpture, photography, mixed media, and more. Whether your approach is scientific, abstract, whimsical, or deeply personal, we invite you to interpret the “secret life of plants” in your own unique way.
Join us in bringing the understory to light.

‘Limited Palette’
August 24 – September 25
Painting with a limited palette can mean selecting the fewest paint colours possible to create the widest range of tones on the spectrum. It can also mean choosing the smallest quantity of pigments that are required to create a range of colours that suit the effect you want to create in your artwork. Monochromatic (using only a single colour) would also be considered a limited palette.
We’re encouraging artists to pick three (or less) different colours to include in our limited palettes for this show – not including the pigments that create tints (white) and shade (black or burnt umber).
By using a limited palette in oil, acrylic and watercolour, or any other medium – Artists can mix a diverse range of values and tones -you can create a wonderfully harmonious effect.
