Steffich Fine Art — Attraction in Salt Spring Island Electoral Area

I recently held an evening reception at Steffich Fine Art for a group of adults who had been on Salt Spring all week for a professional development course. What a great venue for something like this - with beautiful art to look at as a wonderful bonus! From the time I first asked Kaeli if she was willing to host us, until the last guest left, it was a wonderful experience. Kaeli was so positive and enthusiastic about our event, and was brimming with great suggestions to make it a special time. She recommended an amazing MC (John Bateman) who kept us all laughing, and invited some of her gallery's artists to join us at the reception (very appreciated by our participants). She even had great suggestions for catering (thanks, Auntie Pesto's Restaurant!) and wine. She made all the arrangements, thought of all the little details and was a lovely host - even providing complimentary prints and copies of John's book as door prizes, which were especially appreciated! As our participants said, 'I absolutely loved it', 'the gallery event was fantastic', 'this has made me want to come back to Salt Spring with my family', etc. If you are looking for a place on Salt Spring to hold a unique and sophisticated reception, I can't recommend Steffich Fine Art (and Kaeli)...

This Gallery is one of the special things about Salt Spring, and one of the things that makes Salt Spring special.

On my first visit, I was literally stunned.

One of the long-represented and featured artists Norval Morrisseau, has an entire wall dedicated to his art in the AGO (Art Gallery of Ontario). While I highly recommend a visit to the AGO, you can see great and authentic (!) Morrisseau works at Steffich Gallery.

And, Morrisseau isn't the only renowned artist here. There are many others - internationally, nationally and locally renowned. Like Morrisseau at the AGO, you can also find Steffich-featured wind sculpture artist Lyman Whitaker in the capital of Honduras among other locations.

Beyond Morrisseau, Steffich also has other exceptional First Nations artists.

Salt Spring is a fine art center, and Steffich is at its center.

The gallery isn't overwhelming, its just really good. And, the way it spills over into the neighboring Harbor Air waiting lounge is a real joy if you fly out of Ganges. Best airline waiting lounge anywhere thanks to Steffich (and Harbor Air's great staff too of course).

Steffich is a must see, top ten attraction. You might even find yourself leaving with some really...

Steffich Gallery has an outstanding assortment of art. Everything from muted local nature works (to remind you of your visit to Salt Spring), to vintage Rock n Roll posters (to remind you-or your parents-of your wasted youth), to blow-your-socks-off pieces (so you can know who your real friends are).

Kaeli gives generous information and the best customer service (even if you’re just a wannabe customer). Enjoy some laughs and mutual...
