Trina Moulin's exhibition Slow Motion_Greyscale, displayed in the Atrium Gallery, is a photographic study of urban rhythms. The structure of this series is based on snapshots of observed activity in front of thirteen of the artist's current and previous residences in the Lower Mainland. In this exhibition, Ms. Moulin attempts to compare the tempo of the metropolis to that of the suburb.
Doorways and Transformations, a mixed-media exhibition by Claudia Stewart is displayed in the Mezzanine Gallery. Ms. Stewart explores the transformational process of stepping through the doorway and the process of an object or person going through a transformation. Her exhibition began as a few paintings that centered on transformations or variations of an image and evolved into a theme of doorways.
Bordering on Reality by Louis-Marc Simard in the Atrium Gallery is a display of recent paintings and sculptures that create a self-sustaining system and divert the viewers' senses toward the other side of the rainbow. Mr. Simard is fascinated with forms and their ability to travel back and forth between representation and abstraction. He believes that form offers an unsurpassed tool to interpret and enhance reality with viewers who are willing to play.

Lone, a photography exhibition by John Lee is displayed in the Leonore Peyton Salon for two months beginning in April. Mr. Lee's images are an exploration into creating unique relationships between the subject and its environment; they are about showing things in a unique way. His images create both a sense of loneliness and a sense of intimacy with the subject – they are quiet.
