Featuring work by over 20 artists and more than 40 individual pieces, the DIS//CONNECT exhibition reflects on how the loss of the Red Bridge disrupted movement, access, and connection within Kamloops and how art can act as a space to come together in its absence.
For generations, the Red Bridge served as more than a crossing. It connected neighbourhoods, workplaces, and daily routines. Its sudden loss fractured familiar pathways and altered how people move through and relate to one another within the city. This exhibition responds to that rupture, inviting artists and the greater community to reflect on what it means when a shared point of connection disappears, and how communities adapt, remember, and reconnect.
Paintings, poetry, digital design, glasswork, mixed media, print media, audio soundscapes, and public interactive activities bring together people from all backgrounds and experience levels. While the bridge no longer physically links the riverbanks, this exhibition creates a gathering place where stories intersect and community connection is reimagined through creative expression.
