The Okotoks Art Gallery is hosting two new exhibitions through November 6, continuing the region's active arts calendar that included the Elma Street Arts Walk in mid-September.
The small-gallery exhibit, "Won't You Be My Neighbour?" by Ashley Thimot, features paintings based on everyday scenes from the Edmonton neighbourhoods where the artist lives. The work explores nostalgic and grounding moments of mundane Alberta life, offering viewers glimpses into domestic spaces and ordinary moments that carry emotional weight.
In the larger space, "The Elementals: A Celebration of the Women of Creation" by Esther Neufeld showcases life-like sculptures made from felted materials. The exhibition explores the theme of earth's four elements—water, fire, earth, and air—in a celebration of women and creation. Neufeld's large-scale pieces invite viewers to consider how natural forces and human creativity intersect.
Both exhibitions reflect the gallery's focus on regional artists and thematic depth. For more details, visit the Okotoks Art Gallery website.
