Out of the Mist brings together a selection of contemporary artworks that explore themes of obscurity, emergence, and transition—both in the natural world and the human experience. Set against the atmospheric backdrop of Victoria, BC, this exhibition draws inspiration from the island’s coastal environment, where fog, water, and sky blur the boundaries between elements.

Featuring works in painting, photography, sculpture, and mixed media, the exhibition focuses on visual ambiguity, muted palettes, soft textures, and layered forms. Artists use mist—both literal and symbolic—as a means to explore memory, identity, loss, and the passage of time. The result is a contemplative and immersive experience that invites viewers to slow down, shift their perspective, and engage with what lies beneath the surface.

The title refers not only to the physical phenomenon of mist but also to the act of emergence: how clarity, meaning, and emotion rise from uncertain or hidden places.
