Langley, BC – The Langley Arts Council is excited to present the 6th Annual artSpacific Exhibition, a BC-wide, prize-winning exhibition and competition celebrating artistic talent from across the province.

This year’s artSpacific Reception and Awards Ceremony will take place on Saturday, October 11, 2025, from 3:30 PM to 4:30 PM at the Aldergrove Kinsmen Community Center, home of the Langley Arts Council.

“artSpacific is a recognition and celebration of local and regional artists—their creativity, innovation, and dedication to their craft,” says Mini Claire, Curator and Gallery Coordinator for the Langley Arts Council.

For the first time in artSpacific history, six Best in Show prizes will be awarded:
