33 Steps to the Lake

Access

About

Gimli Art Club boasts 85 members who are all Interlake artists! One of their most visible projects is the Gimli Seawall Gallery, a mural walk along the harbour front. This self-guided, free walk takes in murals that depict the history, flora and fauna of the Gimli and Interlake area--over 2 dozen murals, all painted by volunteer members. The Gimli Art Club and Gallery, their home base, is located just 33 steps from the water and will be open for Nuit Blanche with a special show of lake-inspired works from their member artists and for special kids & youth art activities. Stop in, meet the artists, create some art, and check out the many ways in which the lake influences artworks.

Gimli Art Club

The mission of the Gimli Art Club is to foster and promote the spirit of art in the community through education and participation in community activities along with exhibiting art to the public.

As a teaching and mentoring club, we encourage the development and exploration of all art media, both traditional painting, sculpture and pottery as well as currently popular media and styles of art. In our weekly groups and occasional workshops. members are encouraged to fine tune their talents and try out new media.

In the summer we have two galleries and in the winter, the second gallery becomes a workspace for members to meet and practice their art. The club also has a pottery room equipped with wheels, kiln and workspace.

We currently offer for sale a wide range of styles and media including, stained glass, fused glass, jewlery, batik, photography, painting, pottery and sculpture as well as cards and smaller items.

The club takes part in many yearly events in the community by hosting groups, doing demos and planning and participating in events in fun activities for all ages.

The Gimli Art Club recognizes student achievement in art through an annual award presented to a student from the high school.
