Art at The Place
The foyer, in the main building at Fairfield Community Place, serves as gallery space with the intention of displaying artwork from local artists. Since its inception in 2014, colourful paintings, pictures and installations have decorated the centre’s walls. We strive to feature artists who align with the FGCA’s organization values.

FGCA’s Early Years Little Artists
April 1st – 30th
The April Early Years Art Show features contributions from Camas Early Years Centre, Huckleberry Infant Toddler Centre, and Moss Rock Preschool, each showcasing their own unique art pieces. All three programs collaborated to create a joint art piece, highlighting the spirit of teamwork.
The children also had the opportunity to explore a variety of textures, materials, and experiences as they created both individual and collaborative art pieces. Don’t miss this chance to check out the art show, where most of the artwork is available for purchase by donation!
March 3 – 31st
I have loved creating all of my life and have been inspired by the beauty of the natural world and by the wonder of relationships and the rich emotions that we all experience in life. As I keenly observe the intensity of beauty in creation and the passion and the fullness of life all around me, I endeavor to express these vivid images and emotive experiences in my acrylic paintings. I desire to entice the viewer into reflection on these evocative images that give a glimpse into the supernatural realm existing all around us.
Visual images are powerful. My work is created to represent transcendent realties, to entice the viewer into deeper experiences impacting their spirit and emotions.
Casey Casey
February 3 – February 28th
Reception: February 13th (6:30-8:30pm)
“My name is Casey (they/ he), and I am an emerging artist who loves expressing my creativity through expressionism and abstract art, such as painting or mixed media. My work is often inspired by nature, or the things in front of me, and I enjoy focusing on textures and patterns. I draw inspiration from personal experience and imagination, which helps me explore unique ideas and perspectives in my art. For me, creating art is a way to express myself and my feelings in a way words can’t describe. When I’m not working on art, I enjoy being in nature, reading, baking, and listening to music. This is my first time participating in an art exhibit, and I’m so excited to share my creations with others.”
January 2 – January 31st
I am a 22 year old artist from Vancouver, currently living in Victoria. I work primarily in acrylic paints to blend together imagination and realism. With an eye for detail I aim to bring the viewer into the world of my paintings, immersing them in dreamlike atmospheres and vivid colours. Inspired by nature, music and the cosmos, I hope to reflect the sense of mystery and beauty I see in the world around me, and draw a connection between us and the greater universe.
