Every day, 365 days of the year, your brain is playing tricks on you.

We humans are 3-D forms moving about in a 3-D world – a world whose objects have height, width, and depth. However, our eyes can only see 2-D forms. This is where the brain comes in. It tricks the eye into seeing depth. The 3-D show at Coast Collective runs from August 21st to September 1st and will undoubtedly run the gamut from jewellery to pottery, woodwork to metal work – anything that one can pick up, touch, move around, falls into the 3-D category.

Some of our artists are so brilliant that they can present a 3-D object – a cube, a prism, a pyramid – by means of their 2-D art.

Plan to give your brain a workout and attend the Meet-the-Artists reception on Friday, August 23rd from 7 to 9 pm.

Operated by the Society for Arts on the South Island (SASI), whose mission statement is to nurture British Columbia arts and culture ... through the production and support of showcases of fine art and craft, the provision of arts education programs, public performances, and special community cultural events, the Coast Collective Art Centre is open 11:00 to 5:00 Wednesday through Sunday.
