Opening Reception | November 17, 7 - 9pm

Check out Upstream Benefits, an exhibition featuring the work of artists living in the Kootenays, including alumna Boukje Elzinga(1996) at Touchstones Nelson: Museum of Art and History.

Upstream Benefits involves ten artists: Courtney Andersen, Susan Andrews Grace, Amy Bohigian, Brent Bukowski, Boukje Elzinga, Ian Johnston, Maggie Shirley, Natasha Smith, Deborah Thompson and Rachel Yoder. The artists involved in this exhibition example how artist run culture in the Kootenays has been supported and developed over the last decade.

The place in which we live is an important part of the creative process; artists are informed and fostered by place, where they live and where the work was conceived and created. Each artist will display an early instrumental piece – from their tenure here in the Kootenays in tandem with a new work which will illustrate the evolution of their respective creation/styles/approach. This exhibition is about artist run culture, about the creative process and the importance of place.
