The Cube
March 1 to April 13, 2008
The exhibition features work by Barriere’s Yellowhead Artists’ Co-operative. Meeting once a week to paint in studio or en plein air, Marge Mitchell, Shirley Kristensen, Wayne Broomfield, Robert Bambrick, and Jean Cartier have formed a tightly knit unit to provide each other criticism, support, and camaraderie. In this exhibition, the five members exhibit some of their finest works, including oil and watercolour paintings, sculpture, and scrimshaw. Representing life in the North Thompson Valley, the exhibition is rich in landscape views and images of life on the ranch. The exhibition coincides with The Kamloops Cowboy Festival, which runs March 7 to 9, 2008.
