Xchanges Studio Artists in the Art Passage - Colere: Tending to our Souls

Access

About

2d & 3d, drawing, painting

Take a wander down the Art Passage when you come to visit any of our other exhibits at Xchanges Gallery and Studios. For the national Culture Days event this year the walls will be filled with a selection of works by Xchanges Studio Artists. You might even get a peek into some of the studios!

Colere, the title for this show comes from from a French term for culture, which in turn originates from the Latin “colere,” which means to tend to the earth and grow, or cultivation, and nurture.

The main Gallery and Art Passage are open on weekends, 11am-4pm. Check our website for the most current information.

Xchanges Gallery and Studios

Welcome to Xchanges Gallery and Studios, Canada’s oldest artist-run-centre (est. 1967). Located and serving on unceded territories of the lək̓ʷəŋən, Songhees, Esquimalt and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples. The spirit that gave birth to Xchanges began over 50 years ago. A small group of artists envisioned a way to meet the challenges of being an artist. Xchanges persists because it continues to provides support for many of these challenges. This vision rests on solid bones in a structure that has carried it forward through changes over the years to today. As a non-profit charity Xchanges is committed to being of service to the greater community through its artistic and gallery goals and developing its people and supporting creativity. The mandate of Xchanges is to provide affordable studios, present challenging and engaging contemporary art in diverse media whether in our physical spaces or online and virtually, and to support a positive and creative culture in Victoria, BC.
