The District Library Gallery is part of the Art in the Community Programme facilitated by the North Vancouver Community Arts Council in partnership with the District Lynn Valley Main Library and the Friends of the Library. 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. This dedicated exhibition space is located at the top of the stairs on the second floor with a preview area on the main level by the fireplace lounge. Each new exhibition enjoys a Public Opening Reception, with the artist in attendance, on a Saturday afternoon, hosted by the “Friends of the Library”.

Laurel Terlesky
Through a surrealist pop culture approach to portraits, Laurel explores our dependency on electricity and power and the future of sustainable energy practices. Created on large canvas using oil, acrylic and aerosol she presents electricity as part of the human sense of self.
After travelling through the United States, tapping into the touch-and-go atmosphere of pop culture from New York to San Francisco as well as footing through a handful of Canadian cities from Montreal to Vancouver, Laurel made her home in Squamish, BC. She completed her Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree with a major in Painting from the University of Victoria in 1999 and has been actively creating and contributing to the artistic community in which she surrounds herself.
