The Grand Tour
April Cooke-Mackey
Aug 21 - Sept 9 2026
Opening Reception: Aug 21, 5-7pm

The Grand Tour is a celebratory collection of inanimate objects that reside in everyday life. Painted in oils and drawn in ink are momentary captures of objects that are usually overlooked and taken for granted. The exhibition is a grand tour inviting you to meet the “familiar”, find your own relationship with it and what may arise such as feelings of nostalgia, humour, or indifference.

April works primarily in paint, dabbling wildly in subject matter that includes still-life, figurative and most recently landscapes. This show is an exciting reemergence: her love of “home-scape” and still life reborn since moving back home to Salt Spring Island five years ago.
