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”.

David Camisa
Creature Curiosity
David takes something real and infuses it with a taste of the fantastical, allowing viewers to see something they will most likely never see in real life. He has always been intrigued by people and all of their complex ways; therefore they are the inspiration in his paintings. To give an earthy feel he paints on wood panels, thus grounding an otherwise unrealistic scene. He uses a graphic style that aims to emphasize each character’s traits and personalities, allowing each to convey varying emotions to an onlooker.
