Gallery tips for Castlegar

A few things worth knowing before you work through Castlegar's art galleries:

• Trust your own reaction at Kootenay Gallery of Art, History & Science. You don't need the wall text's permission to love or hate a piece. Your honest reaction is the whole point of going.
• Buy local art if you can. An original from a local artist costs less than you think and means more than any print. Start with works on paper.
• Ask about the price list. It's normal to ask, even if you're not buying. It tells you how the market values the work.
• First Fridays and art walks. Many towns run a monthly evening when galleries open late together. The easiest way to see everything at once.
