The other night, I attended the opening reception for Nigel Fox's showing of "Milestone: A Fox Year in Painting". It was a great show of colorful paintings that everyone at the event thoroughly enjoyed.
The Smithers art gallery tends to always have an opening night for a new exhibit, and I encourage everyone to attend if they have the chance. With the catalyst of refreshments and a healthy appreciation of art, you can strike up a conversation with your neighbour and get to know the community. One can experience a warm Smithers welcome, and enjoy the exhibit surrounded by (old or new) friends.

The Central Park Building in Smithers includes an Art Gallery, Museum, and a Dance Studio. I think the the building is intresting from the back, and not too many people get to see or notice it. Enjoy!

The Bulkley Valley Museum Presents: A Smithers Culture Crawl. The crawl takes visitors on a remarkable and fascinating stroll. Our Culture Crawl explores the Swiss and Dutch migration to Smithers, history of Music in the Bulkley Valley, the history of the Fire Department, breathtaking gardens, and unique Aladdin and Eaton kit homes. Every day at 12 noon a sirine sounds from our fire hall, so one Friday I had to ask if I could take some pictures from the tower. Enjoy!
