The first show, which opens Canada Day (July 1), has a black and white theme. In addition to photos, the gallery will display glass, metal and wood works. "What I'm looking at doing is having shows with a theme, and having different media within that theme," said Ms. Hale, who wants to tap into what she regards as a rich and creative arts community here: "There's 'a huge, huge amount of work going on." The gallery is the real- ization of a vision Ms Hale has had since com- ing to the area 10 years ago. She's always wanted a space to show her work and that of others, and a studio in which to take photos. But until now, the right space hasn't become available.
