Our most festive tradition is just around the corner…

This beloved event brings local creativity to life with an incredible lineup of artisans and makers. We’re excited to welcome back favourites like Brenda Firth (Pets Craft) and Gayle Mortenson (Wooden Craft), as well as talented local artisans Shauna Sherwood, Ashley Marzoff, Shalane Vinnie, and Grace Metz. You’ll also find amazing items from Sipology, Sara B. Handmade, and Double Vision Wooden Crafts—from handcrafted goods to cozy treats to holiday décor, there truly is something for everyone.

And let’s not forget the bake sale and local history books, lovingly organized by our volunteers. (Trust us—the baking table goes fast!)

But wait—there’s more!
This event also marks the beginning of our Annual Book & Puzzle Sale, which will take over our Freeze Gallery with thousands of gently used books at unbeatable prices. It’s the perfect place to stock up on gifts, winter reading, and rare finds.

Come for the crafts and stay for the books… or come for the books and stay for the crafts!

This November, ASMAS presents two complementary exhibitions across our galleries: painter/printmaker Mary Jong in the Main Gallery and fibre artist/photographer Emily Fraser in the Freeze Gallery.

Main Gallery — Mary Jong: Somewhere in Time

Circular compositions act like portals, carrying the viewer into valleys, lakes, and cloud-swept, moonlit horizons. The circle—rich with meaning in Chinese cosmography and symbology—becomes both a formal device and a personal emblem, referencing family, the moon, and cycles of completeness. Earth and sky meet in serene, otherworldly dreamscapes.

Freeze Gallery — Emily Fraser: TETHERED: Reflections of Fibre

Emily “paints” landscapes with fibre, weaving together the BC coast and Okanagan interior through upcycled sari ribbon, yarn, roving, and found materials. Photographs are paired with fibre pieces to explore how light, lines, and textures echo across mediums, with select 3D works that consider how memory and place are stitched together.

Exhibition: Oct 30–Nov 22
Opening Reception: Thursday, October 30, 6–8 PM — all are welcome.
Location: Armstrong Spallumcheen Museum & Art Gallery

This show is generously sponsored by P.V. Quilting, the largest Quilting classroom in North America!  Check them out on P.V. Road for all your quilting needs!

This October, the Armstrong Spallumcheen Museum and Art Gallery is excited to present an immersive dual exhibition celebrating the land we live on.

In our Freeze Gallery, artist Marc Brzustowski brings us “The Many Moods of Rose Swanson”, a series of new landscape paintings that showcase the powerful presence of Armstrong’s iconic mountain. Through seasonal shifts and changing weather, Marc invites us to reconnect with the mountain that often fades into the background of daily life.

In our Main Gallery, Linda Lovisa and Shauna Kay present “Reflections of the Okanagan”, a collaborative exhibit designed to reflect both the urban energy and natural tranquility of the Okanagan Valley. While each artist brings their own perspective, the show harmonizes beautifully across our gallery spaces, offering a diverse portrait of our region.

Join us for the Opening Reception on Thursday, October 2nd from 6–8 PM. Meet the artists and seize the first opportunity to purchase artwork.

The show runs until October 25th and is generously sponsored by Rossworn Henderson LLP, proud supporters of the arts in Armstrong.

September Exhibition: “Four Artists, Unique Expressions” & “Echoes of Our Lineage” — September 4–27, 2025

Opening Reception: Thursday, September 4th, 6–8 PM
Sponsored by Shepherd’s Home Hardware

This September, we are proud to present two remarkable exhibitions running in tandem at the Armstrong Spallumcheen Museum & Art Gallery.

Four Artists, Unique Expressions features the vibrant and contrasting work of Vaughn Butland, James Postill, Juve Furtado, and Linda Hunt. These four accomplished artists bring a dynamic blend of realism, impressionism, watercolour, and oil painting to the gallery—each capturing the natural world through their unique lens and lived experience.

Echoes of Our Lineage brings together Patricia L. Smith, Susan Miller, Lisa Figueroa, and Wendy Browne—four artists exploring ancestry, reconciliation, and resilience. Through sculptural installations, quilts, paintings, and mixed media, the exhibit honours women’s strength, the red dress as a symbol of protest, and the voices of Indigenous and settler grandmothers alike.

Join us at the opening reception on Thursday, September 4th from 6–8 PM.

Wine will be available. Admission to the opening reception is free, and entry to the exhibit is by donation.
Gallery Hours: Tuesday to Saturday, 10 AM–4 PM.
