SURREY ART GALLERY See art, make art, and meet friends! Free admission.  surrey.ca/artgallery

Rajesh Vora: Everyday Monuments Art meets everyday life in Rajesh Vora’s photographs of water tanks and other rooftop sculptures found in India’s Punjab region. Made of cement and hand painted, these water tanks can take the form of birds, soccer balls, animals, automobiles, and pressure cookers, raising questions of what art is and how does art and architecture combine. Video portraits of the artists will be included along with one of the sculptures.  Rajesh Vora, from the series Everyday Monuments , 2014–19, digital colour photographs, dimensions variable.
