Xchanges Officers for 2014-2015 President: Kate Seymour Past President: Troi Donnelly Secretary: MaryLou Strickland Treasurer: Barry Herring Building Coördinator: Megan Dickie Gallery Coördinator: Daniela Herold Gallery Programming: Trish Shwart Life Drawing Coördinator: Cindy Wright Studio Coördinator: Wilma deVries Webmaster: Ron Gillmore Many of Victoria’s artists in the past 48 years have been involved with Xchanges. Some have had their first solo exhibition here; others have given classes, been active members, and had studios in one of the 4 locations which we have inhabited over the years. Xchanges is currently home to a gallery exhibition space and studios rented to member artists, including the darkroom of Crossgrain Photographic Society. Life Drawing, Portrait, and Sculpture sessions in the main gallery attract an average of 30 or more outside artists per month. Over the years, Xchanges has hosted events such as poetry readings, concerts, jam sessions, filmmakers’ nights, film festivals, theatre performances, the Mayday Erotica festival, art workshops for both adults and children, and multicultural events such as a monthly Tango Night, exhibitions by the local Native womens’ group, Wild Women, and exchange exhibitions produced by Ground Zero Printmakers exhibiting works from South Africa, New Zealand, and Quebec. Our non-commercial gallery features work by local emerging and established artists. Xchanges' ties to other community arts organizations, through events, membership and the activities of its studio and associate members, continue to make us an integral and vibrant part of the fabric of the Victoria arts community. 
X Changes Gallery & Studios is a museum and art gallery where customers appreciate the talented models and welcoming atmosphere. Some find the space a bit cramped during life drawing sessions, but enjoy the good lighting and respectful environment. The occasional surprise offering of a free session is a nice touch. The gallery shows and interaction with creative individuals are also highlights.
