Our exhibition spaces are currently being reinstalled. We look forward to welcoming you back on April 1!
Each year The Reach Gallery Museum invites emerging artists from the Fraser Valley and beyond to take part in our cornerstone programs: Art on Demand and CITI/SEEN.
The fifth CITI/SEEN mural was created in the lane beside “Aurora Rosters” at 2615 Montrose Ave.
Artists Statement
The Milky Way is identified in Coast Salish language families as a hollow object. This mural design responds imaginatively to the question, “Who travels the Milky Way?” Here, Sasq’ets appears in a spacesuit, an interdimensional being finding their way through the galaxy. “Sasq’ets” is the upriver Halqemeylem word that became Anglicized and disseminated as “Sasquatch.” A combination exterior acrylic and aerosol paints were used to realize the composition, which features both traditional weaving and contemporary Salish design motifs.
