Our artists are on the walls
Come meet them at 417 Tranquille Rd — or see who shows here.
We all live under the same sky.
A non-profit community art studio and gallery on Kamloops' North Shore — where every artist is welcome, every voice is honoured, and artists keep 70% of every sale.
Who we are
Art that disrupts who galleries are for
Same Sky Collective Society is a non-profit art studio at 417 Tranquille Road. We build community with talented local artists — many of whom face barriers that keep them out of traditional gallery spaces, including homelessness, poverty, and the toxic drug crisis.
Here, artists keep 70% of every sale. For some of our artists, that has turned a passion into a livelihood.
The studio honours all voices, creativity, and art forms — and gives people a sense of purpose through staying engaged in community, sharing their creativity, and being fairly paid for their work.

Community, research & advocacy
Everyone welcome
No purchase needed — come in, look around, make something, or just warm up. The studio is a place to belong.
Story-mapping research
The studio houses a creative research project on the toxic drug crisis, told from the perspectives of people with lived and living experience through cultural story mapping — the visions behind everything we do.
Book the space
Meetings, workshops, support groups, social justice initiatives — community groups can book the studio. Ask Lana to set it up.

For people who use substances
Our favourite links and resources — Toward the Heart for naloxone and supplies, and the Lifeguard app if you're using alone.
Plus a Kamloops list: where to find a bed, food, outreach, and a crisis team that isn't police. In crisis? Call or text 9-8-8, any hour.
Keep the lights on
Because artists keep 70%, we run lean — powered by donations, local events, and neighbours who believe in this work. Every dollar keeps the doors open for someone who needs this space.
