Though Fort Langley Artist Group’s (FLAG) newest gallery, Winter Solstice, highlights chilly weather and cold landscapes – the exhibition is available to spectators from the warm confines of home.

From now until Feb 28, people can view artwork from Langley painters on their website and social media platforms.

Member Gabrielle Strauss told the Aldergrove Star that inspiration came from the beauty in seasons changing and hours of daylight increasing.

“The promise of new beginnings has inspired the Fort Langley Artists Group to mount a Winter Solstice show on our social platforms,” she said. “Making art and sharing it is an uplifting experience for members of the group, who, like many others, are so isolated during this trying time of COVID-19. “
