Head down to The Gallery at the Cultch to view the work of alumna Gillian Richards (2014) and artist Gordon Hughes.

Richards' work is an exploration of the unremarkable and normally unnoticed spaces that are a part of her surrounding urban landscape. Subjects such as parking lots or empty backyards occupied by trailers and garages often appear in her paintings. Drawn to the quality of light these spaces possess, and observing their ability to suggest a mood or imply a human presence, she seeks to draw from these otherwise ordinary and often stark locations a sense of intimacy and emotion.

The Gallery at The Cultch is a community focused space dedicated to providing progressive art to the residents of Vancouver’s East side. Like The Cultch itself, The Gallery’s mandate is to contribute to the enrichment of our city and community’s social and cultural life. Their aim is to create a strong visual art presence in the area and to engage the community with new contemporary art from established and emerging artists.
