FSPL Art Gallery

We are thrilled to showcase the talents of our community’s artists while supporting both local creativity and our Library.

Our gallery will feature a diverse array of artwork throughout the year, ranging from paintings and photographs to mixed media pieces. Each piece is available for purchase, providing an opportunity for art enthusiasts to bring a piece of local talent into their offices or homes.

What makes our gallery unique is our commitment to supporting artists and our Library’s mission. When a piece is sold, the Library receives a 20% donation from the sale. This not only helps sustain our library’s operations but enables us to continue providing valuable resources and programming to the community.

For local artists, this partnership offers a platform to showcase their work to a wider audience and potentially generate income from their art. It fosters a supportive environment where artists can thrive and connect with art lovers in the community.

If you are interested in having your art showcased in the Library, please email twall@fspl.ca.

The current art display will be available for viewing and purchase until January 17 2025. If you’re interested in purchasing a piece or have any inquiries, please speak to the staff at the front desk. We’re excited to share the talents of our local artists with you and invite you to explore the beauty and creativity in the Library!

About Elk Island Art Club

The Elk Island Art Club is a small club that began in Strathcona County in the 1950’s. Its members meet Tuesday afternoons in Josephburg to paint and discuss their finished pieces or works-in-progress. These critique sessions are what members feel they most benefit from the art club. All, beginner to expert, contribute their advice and experience in various media including oil, acrylic, watercolour, fibre, pencil, ink and pastels. This has been the club’s mandate since its beginnings.

The Elk Island Art Club presents an annual art show at their location in Josephburg. Members have also participated in events such as Christmas in the Heartland, Josephburg Ag Society’s Dinner Concert Series and the Ukrainian Village where they have painted on location. This enables them to promote art in the community. The art club has had opportunities to exhibit in Fort Saskatchewan, Sherwood Park and Edmonton.

The members of the Elk Island Art Club are from Fort Saskatchewan and surrounding area, and they take pleasure in sharing their passion to paint.
