The Reach Gallery Museum is holding some free activities for families on Sunday, Feb. 16 in celebration of the Family Day long weekend.
A mini guided tour of the current exhibitions takes place from noon to 5 p.m.
These exhibits include Glimmers of the Radiant Real – a touring exhibition with its only B.C. stop at The Reach – and artist Trevor Van den Eijnden’s “a soul is not made of atoms.”
A performance called “Fragile” by macromatter takes place from 2:30 to 3:30. This presentation has been seen around the world, and tells the dramatic story of three generations of family told through dioramas projected onto the big screen in real time.
