Kamloops Art Gallery presents work by six talented and newly
“discovered” artists from the Thompson-Nicola Regional District.
Selected by a team of invited jurors, artists James Black, John Russell,
Daniel Tom, Megs Waterous, Craig Willms and Barbara Zimonick represent
some of the region’s hidden talent.
The Gallery is delighted to organize an exhibition of works by these
talented artists, their first show in a public gallery. Through this
exhibition, the Gallery hopes to generate excitement about the visual
arts emerging in the region.
A full colour catalogue accompanies the exhibition and is available for

Contemporary Curiosities
Odd Objects from the Permanent Collection
October 28 to December 31, 2007
*Media sponsor: Off-Centre Magazine*
This exhibition features a selection of artworks from the Gallery’s
permanent collection, all of which share a certain lack of
recognisability—or at least a very surprising form! Included are recent
additions to the collection by British Columbian artists, Taiga Chiba,
Jack Jeffrey, and Liz Magor. The exhibition also includes works by
Dianne Michell and Ros Eldridge, Andrew Atagootak, Attila Richard
Lukacs, Eldon Garnet, Raymond Dupuis, Andre Petterson, and Alan Wood.
Contemporary Curiosities celebrates the ambiguous, the mysterious, the
playful, and the downright weird in contemporary Canadian art.
