A Herd of Dreams: Summer Camp 2025
September 5 to September 21, 2025
The artworks included here were created over the course of eight weeks by 128 artists aged 5 to 12 enrolled in the Kamloops Art Gallery’s Summer Art Camp.
Inspired by the exhibition Keith Langergraber: Staircases Leading to Nowhere, throughout the summer young artists explored materials, concepts, and techniques used by the artist. They were especially fascinated with Langergraber’s interest in the herd of wild horses found near Ashcroft, his exploration of portals and other realms, as well as the energies that physical places hold.
Craftivism: Building Grassroots Capacity
July 26 to August 23, 2025
Presented in collaboration with the Kamloops Art Gallery, the Kamloops Food Policy Council, and Propolis Cooperative Housing Society.
Craftivism, is “a way of looking at life where voicing opinions through creativity makes your voice stronger, your compassion deeper, and your quest for justice more infinite.” ~Betsey Greer
In 2022, we gathered as a group of Kamloops community organizers who were busy bringing to life projects and advocating for more resilient and equitable housing and food systems. We began tapping into the creativity of the community by hosting craftivism workshops. Experimenting with what takes place at the intersection between art and activism was fruitful for us. This exhibition features the creative expression of workshop participants. Distributable zines, buttons, and patches make their way into the community in unexpected ways and have unanticipated ripple effects. Please take one with you and help its message spread.

Fragments from the Frontlines: Voices and Portraits of Survival
April 5 to May 31, 2025
Presented in collaboration with Jennifer Chrumka and the Climate Disaster Project.
Climate change is causing untold damage to lives and livelihoods in Kamloops and beyond. Too often, there has been a failure to tell the many human stories about climate disaster: from heat waves and floods to wildfires and droughts. As a result, we can feel as if we are fragments on the frontlines of climate change, disconnected from one another’s experiences and sometimes even our own. This exhibition features the stories of nearly two dozen people across British Columbia who have lived through climate change and offer lessons of what’s to come. Their testimonies are based on reporting conducted by students from Thompson Rivers University participating in the Climate Disaster Project, an award-winning international teaching newsroom that works with disaster-impacted people to share their stories. Under the instruction of Jennifer Chrumka, these environmental journalism students co-created stories of survival, community and hope.
Legacy Unveiled: Black History in Kamloops
Honouring the Past, Celebrating the Present, Inspiring the Future
February 1 to March 29, 2025
Presented in Partnership with Hardley Williams and the Unique Get Together Society
This exhibition tells the story of Black history in Kamloops across generations. It honours the pioneers who paved the way, the leaders shaping today, and the youth who will carry the legacy forward.
Through art and storytelling, we celebrate resilience, culture, and community. Our history is still being written—together, we continue to make an impact.
Through a series of intergenerational collaborations, artists created these works to record narratives that honour the past and educate future generations on Black history in Kamloops.
