For descriptions of programs offered by the Gallery please visit the Events Calendar to find out what's scheduled currently Our Approach to Presenting Art To encourage interaction between artists and the community, and artists and their peers, the Surrey Art Gallery has developed a series of on-going programs which facililtate discussions with artists and also attempt to make the artistic process more accessible to the public. The Gallery considers artists as primary sources of interpretation of contemporary art. Opportunities are therefore provided for the public to hear directly from, and dialogue with, contemporary artists through public lectures, panel discussions and presentations on current exhibitions.
Artists also give technical demonstrations and lead public tours of their exhibitions.
Concerts Concerts are held directly within the exhibition halls. They provide a multi-media experience, using music that complements the exhibition as another means of access to the artworks. Each concert is given an introduction that contextualizes the event within Gallery programs. This monthly program of talks and demonstrations by local and regional artists and crafts people is co-sponsored by the Surrey Art Gallery Association. It provides an opportunity for artists who are not exhibiting at the Gallery to expose their work and ideas to the public and offers the public a chance to see work in a variety of media by artists in their communities.
