The photographic works by Agathe Bernard, Natalie Harris, Jason Keerak, Mas Matsushita and Ronan Redel are circled inwards at the centre of the main gallery; five interpretations of each work are arranged on the walls behind them.

The collaborative interpretations run the gamut from acrylic paintings to abstract, mixed media installations.

The side galleries feature three shows: Sarah Windsor is best known for her abstract interpretations but this time delved more into pictorial representations, including ink transfer prints of insects and wildlife. Trish Hartwick of Love Making Designs in Grizzly Plaza displays prints and drawings representing wildlife and natural scenes with heavy inspiration from Revelstoke life. In the third gallery, the Revelstoke Potters Guild members display their works, including lots of practical dishware for sale.

The current exhibit featuring Five Times Five and exhibits by Trish Hartwick, Sarah Windsor and the Revelstoke Potters Guild runs until September 22 the Revelstoke Visual Arts Centre. Check their website for gallery hours.
