This exhibit is representative of my years on Vancouver Island. Every piece is from a happy moment in time; many spent with loved ones who are very dear to me. Painting these works shows my appreciation of all the beauty our little island offers.

About the Artist:
Michelle Steadman, a local artist, continues the tradition of her father and mentor John David Whitehead, one of the co-founders of the Moss Street Art Gallery. This is where she took her first art class as a child and fell in love with it. She has been painting ever since. Her medium of choice is oil, and she finds inspiration in capturing the beauty of Vancouver Island in her works.

Nancy Walt – Solo Exhibit
About the Artwork / Artist:
I am drawn to mixed media and my work usually involves collage. I am currently working with acrylic paints and other water-soluble products, but I utilize ink, graphite, and permanent markers as well. I also work in oil from time to time.
Much of my art work would be described as abstract collage, but I also love to create portraits. I love to work with paper and also make cards and produce journals

Remembrance Day – Saanich Archives
October 15 to November 12, 2025
About the Exhibit:
Remember Me to All: Correspondence and Communication
during the Great Wars.
The Remembrance Day exhibit by Saanich Archives features correspondence sent during World War I and World War II, that explores love, friendship, family, connection, and communication during these dangerous and unprecedented times.
Conditions of war may not seem conducive to building strong relationships, where tension of any kind is heightened by uncertainty but this uncertainty, paired with a deep need for human connection, led to whirlwind
romances or bonds of friendship that lasted a lifetime beyond the war. Communication created connections which boosted the morale of those in the field overseas and helped soothe the concerns of family who stayed on the home front. At times, they also added a necessary human element to tragedy. This exhibit hopes to highlight the words and emotions shared by people who were separated for months and years at a time, connecting them to each other and to us.
Accessibility: Accessible washrooms, Wheelchair access on main and second floor, and disabled parking stalls. Limited access to mezzanine and upper gallery spaces
