Clay & Canvas
September 19, 2025 – September 25, 2025
Show Times: 10am – 4pm, daily
Exhibition Details: “Clay & Canvas” features the paintings and pottery of six local artists: Janet Anderson, Michelle Barkway, Sonia Lesage, Lisa Riehl, Marcela Strasdas and Ester Strijbos. This collaborative exhibition brings together earth and pigment, the functional and the ornamental, the potters and the painters. Built on the material foundations of clay and canvas, the show is inspired by a deep connection to life on the west coast and a community dedicated to showcasing its natural beauty through their individual artistic styles. Featuring a curated selection of original landscape and floral paintings, and one of a kind pottery pieces, “Clay & Canvas” offers the viewer an opportunity to view the Pacific Northwest through six different sets of eyes.
Participants: Janet Anderson, Michelle Barkway, Sonia Lesage, Lisa Riehl, Marcela Strasdas and Ester Strijbos
The ArtSea Gallery Program is presented by ArtSea Community Arts Council.
There is a new art exhibition each week at the ArtSea Gallery. Explore diverse art, meet artists, and experience creativity and community. Exhibitions and workshops are presented and managed by local artists and artisans.
A wonderful team of ArtSea Staff and volunteers maintain the gallery space and office so that is available for the use of the community.
The gallery facility is owned and the exterior property is maintained by the Town of Sidney.
ArtSea is pleased to work together with the Town of Sidney and other contributors, including the District of North Saanich, the District of Central Saanich, the Victoria Foundation, and Peninsula Co-op to provide this space as a hub for community connection and enrichment.
ArtSea is fortunate to operate within the unceded territory of the Coast Salish People – within the traditional territory of the W̱SÁNEĆ Nation – Pauquachin, Tsartlip, Tsawout and Tseycum peoples.
