Seascape from Reality Artists Margo and Dan Zak bring together ceramics and painting in Seascape from Reality, an exhibition shaped by a shared lifetime of art, architecture, and deep observation of the natural world. Inspired by time spent along the coasts of Salt Spring Island, Vancouver Island, and Tofino, the exhibition explores the ocean landscape as a place of calm, healing, and regeneration. Dan’s expansive seascape paintings and Margo’s biomorphic ceramic vessels come together in a single installation, offering two distinct yet deeply connected responses to the water’s edge. For both artists, this body of work marks a departure from their regular practices. Dan’s scaled-up landscapes create an immersive pictorial space, while Margo’s sculptural forms embrace a looser, more experimental approach. Together, their work reflects a personal and shared experience of coastal life, translated through material, memory, and imagination. Margo and Dan Zak met in 1976 while studying Art and Architecture at the University of Manitoba. Their creative lives have taken them around the world, including Trinidad and Tobago, San Francisco, London, and Qatar. Since settling on Salt Spring

The Salty Pear Gallery presents Piecemeal, an evolving exhibition featuring 24 Salt Spring Island artists working across painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, textiles and mixed media. Both a showcase and a revolving collection, Piecemeal reflects how creative practices and livelihoods on Salt Spring are assembled through a patchwork of careers & interests, unconventional schedules, shared resources and fortuitous moments of gathering. Located on a five-acre farm just a short walk from Ganges, The Salty Pear is an intimate gallery, creative space and gathering place founded by multidisciplinary artist, curator and cultural producer Annika Hagen. Piecemeal is on view until mid-January 2027. Gallery hours will be posted to the site after the opening, with private viewings available by appointment. Visit saltypear.ca for more information.
