The Gallery at Evergreen Arts is located next to Lafarge Lake, a human-made lake stocked regularly with rainbow trout, and near the Coquitlam River—ancestral home to salmon and stewarded by the kʷikʷəƛ̓əm First Nation. These surroundings tell a layered story. From dams to quarries, from salmon depletion to salmon restoration, these local waters teach us much about our shared histories and current realities. Lure draws inspiration from fishing practices in the Tri-Cities: a recreational and cultural activity shared by many community members, including newcomers, families and seniors.

Featuring artists with ties to the Pacific, Arctic and Atlantic Oceans, and the freshwater bodies that flow between, Lure explores fishing through a diverse selection of contemporary artworks.
