Inside the Gallery

Fine China

A collective of interesting and unique pieces of China from local community members

This year’s festival Ranger Station Art Gallery exhibit displays fine porcelain and other chinaware from the personal collections of local Harrison and Agassiz residents. There are few objects in modern homes that combine function and artistry in the ways chinaware does, or that have a history of being used in family rituals, from Sunday dinners to christenings. These objects are tied into intimate family histories, and in this exhibit we aim to bring out some of these personal stories by accompanying pieces with photographs and text, bringing meaning to these objects that are both commonplace and prized in Canadian homes.

Join us on Friday, July 12th at 7pm for our opening reception at the Ranger Station Art Gallery. Refreshments and goodies will be served.

Spirit Trail

Ernie Eaves

The Spirit Trail is a short walk (1km) through a wonderful piece of west coast cedar rainforest.

Located on the east side of Harrison Hot Springs, the trail gets its spiritual feel from ceramic masks and faces that artist Ernie Eaves has placed among the trees.

Ernie became involved in ceramic arts soon after his retirement as a high school teacher. He has a small studio in his garage that he shares with his artist wife, Irene.
