The Shack Art Collective is a cool little East Van gallery located in a refitted residential garage deep in East Van. We love the spirit behind this collective. It puts action to the idea of encouraging emerging artists to show their work by creating a space and cultivating a community of support to aid them in the development of their work.

This Saturday, co-curators Niki and Paris are re-opening the Shack after a winter hiatus with ‘Troublesome Waters’ – a show of recent works by artist Mark Hall-Patch. It’s part of a continuing series of watercolour paintings marked by a narrative theme related to ambiguous figures and landscapes. (“One of the themes that continues throughout the present body of work is the cultural fascination with the failure of the Free Spirit movement or failed utopian colonies of the past.”)

So put a little cash in your pocket for art (and a drink) and enter through the alley to check out this cool little gallery and the artist exhibiting within.
