The Steam Whistle Gallery Archive

Steam Whistle Brewing hosts monthly art shows and exhibitions in our Retail & Hospitality area to showcase local creative talent. Although many are established artists, some exhibitors are showing for the first time. Steam Whistle does not charge rent for our gallery space, nor do we take commission on any works that sell. At the close of each show, one piece of the artist's choice is donated to our collection.

All exhibitions are open free to the public - Monday to Saturday 12noon to 6pm and Sunday 12noon to 5pm.

Signs of Sunshine - The visual work of artist Todd Burton de Koker

Sol Studios is, in many ways, a visual journal of my path of discovery to the significance of the Sun [SOL] and its many interconnected relationships to both our physical being and our spiritual being [or SOUL]. I explore this through the many literal, figurative and symbolic references to the Sun (light, spark, fire, etc.) that are present throughout the history of our collective human experience.
