Explore a collection of works by the Alberni Valley Arts Council.Re.collection features artwork from the Community Arts Council’s collection, a body of work that has been in their care for over 40 years. This exhibition marks the arts council’s 60th year, as well as one last view before the works are deaccessioned. That means the Arts Council will no longer hold the collection, and the works will find new homes within museums and collections.

You are invited to explore the collection through the framework of re.—to reflect, react, and reimagine each piece in a modern context. Each work invites us to consider the Alberni Valley’s artistic history and how these stories continue to shape our community today.
