The District Foyer Gallery is part of the Art in the Community Programme facilitated by the North Vancouver Community Arts Council in partnership with the District of North Vancouver. This programme enables emerging artists to gain exposure and experience the professional orchestration of an exhibition in a public environment. It also exposes the public to art in non-traditional environments. Each new exhibition enjoys a Public Opening Reception, with the artists in attendance, on a Thursday evening hosted by the Arts Council in collaboration with the artists.

Bill Adams
2D - At the urging of his mother in 1975, Bill reluctantly picked up one of her brushes and began to paint a small picture on a small canvas board. Immediately he was hooked and that very day purchased everything required (he thought) to start painting. Since that time Bill’s artwork has grown in size and are now large, bold, acrylic landscapes and florals. A true realist painter, he haS always been in high demand and has known great success both through artwork displayed in galleries and through many commissioned pieces. www.billadamsart.ca
Denise Jeffrey
3D – Denise is a clay artist who studied ceramics at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (NSCAD) and received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. Patterns found in nature inspire her work in cone six porcelain. Clay is thrown, some altered, many pieces are also composed of hand-built or slab-formed elements. Carving is a decoration element she uses widely in her work. She creates distinctive porcelain vases, tile wall hangings, bowls, mugs, wine carafes, cups and much more. She enjoys creating work that can be appreciated for its form, colour and feel but also used and enjoyed everyday around the home.
