Gallery tips for Campbell River

Gallery-going in Campbell River? A few habits help:

• Ask about the artists at Works of Art. Local, emerging, mid-career — the gallerist can tell you who's who and why this show matters.
• Don't rush the video work at Marilyn Peeters Art Studio & Gallery. Video installations need their full runtime. Sit down, give it the minutes it asks for.
• First Fridays and art walks. Many towns run a monthly evening when galleries open late together. The easiest way to see everything at once.
• Ask about private views. Mailing lists get you invited to previews — quieter, with the artists around and first pick of the work.
