Local Art
We are now featuring work from local artists in our space - Visit us each month for Downtown Vancouver's First Friday, a great way to support our community and find out what's happening.
After you decide which art work you'd like to purchase, Venmo the artist and let them know which piece you're purchasing and your contact info to arrange pick up.
Scott Wagner
Dear friend, I wish to express my heartfelt thanks for taking the time to look thoughtfully at my paintings. I have attempted to express my heart and soul in these images, and perhaps your heart and soul, too. The inspiration for my works is hopefully also your inspiration for visiting galleries including nature, waterfront cafes, books, conversations with loved ones, the magnificent magic of music, beautiful tragedy of lost love, the incredible joy of new life. Most importantly, if a small piece of love or peace has been sensed, I encourage you to envelope part of it into your heart and the other part, share with whom ever will accept it.
Yours truly,
Scott Alan Wagner
