Sharpsburg’s ZYNKA Gallery turns 5: reflecting on growth and future exhibitions

ZYNKA Gallery in Sharpsburg, Pennsylvania, celebrates its fifth anniversary. Founded by Jeff Jarzynka in November 2019, the gallery represents over 50 mostly regional artists. Its current exhibition, “Time Between Echoes,” features Dutch-born artist Hans Neleman and runs through June 8.

PHOTOS: 50 years of Surrey Art Gallery, and where it might move

Surrey Art Gallery (SAG) is celebrating its 50th anniversary this summer, having opened in 1975 at Bear Creek Park in Surrey, British Columbia. The gallery, which offers free admission and parking, is showcasing a 50th-anniversary group exhibition titled "10 and 10: Story of Stories" through August 9, pairing works from its first decade of collecting (1975–1985) with those from the last decade (2014–2024). Director Alison Rajah notes that the gallery holds nearly 2,000 works in trust, including 70 cultural properties recognized as national treasures. However, the gallery has run out of storage space, prompting plans to move to a new Interactive Art Museum (IAM) in Surrey City Centre, a project first proposed in 2017. Surrey Mayor Brenda Locke confirmed on June 11 that funding has been allocated and construction could begin within the next year.
