Waterways

Explore the artistic flow of the Comox Valley this April with Waterways: The Comox Valley Gallery Hop. Nine galleries—each presenting a unique, water-themed exhibition—invite you to experience a month of creativity, connection, and exploration.

How It Works

Visit each gallery to experience diverse interpretations of water’s movement, symbolism, and significance. Collect stamps on a stamp card as you visit each gallery. Once you've completed your tour, fill out your information on the card and drop it off at any participating gallery. You'll be entered to win amazing art prizes donated by local artists—the more galleries you visit, the more chances you have to win!

Join us for this month-long celebration of art and water, and immerse yourself in the creative energy of the Comox Valley.
