Art Exhibition: SC Arts Centre – Lori Goldberg

to Nov 8th.

Art Exhibition: SC Arts Centre – Eldon Underhill

to Nov 8th. The exhibition “Unseen Forces” is a series of paintings that reflect the idea of the unseen forces that often serve as unconscious catalysts to the creative process when working in the abstract, using a mix of standard, non-standard, and recycled substrates including canvas, upholstery fabric, burlap and construction building paper, as a reflection of the artist’s anxieties about the non-sustainable practices involved in the fine art industry.

Art Exhibition: GPAG – When it Breaks, Let it Shatter | Megan Dewar

to Sept 14th in Joe’s Lounge. Megan Dewar (she/her) is a disabled mosaic artist and settler living on Shíshálh territory. The practice of mosaic allows Dewar to sit with broken things and consider how she relates to them, and how they are related to the transformation she dreams about embedded in disability justice. She is continually grateful for the lessons the practice of mosaic holds about expression, identity, subversion, and interdependence. When it Breaks, Let it Shatter engages in the idea of breakage as a catalyst for acceptance, growth, authenticity; and away from the ideas of breakage requiring fixing or disposing.

When it is the barriers, systems of oppression, and stigmas that break, let them shatter.

Opening Reception | Tiko Kerr

Join us for the Opening Reception of Motion Pictures by Tiko Kerr in the Main Gallery!

Tiko Kerr is a Vancouver based artist who has been developing his artistic process since the early 1980s. His work invites the viewer to engage, interpret, and find resonance within their own subjective experiences. Kerr’s exhibition Motion Pictures features collaged hybrids of painting, relief, and sculpture. Mirroring the way in which we view the veracity of socio-political issues and the accuracy of what we see or hear, what we believe becomes the product of our viewing position.

All are welcome.

Join us for the Opening Reception of Toward the Light by Myron Jones on Saturday August 23rd 2pm – 4pm. All are welcome!

Myron Jones is a local artist who grew up in rural southern Ontario, where he developed a natural connection to the landscapes around him, an impression and influence that has remained an integral part of his practice throughout his career as an artist. In his work Myron Jones distills the core elements of the countryside or seaside around him, carefully constructing landscapes with an emphasis on form, simplicity, minimalism occasionally bordering on abstraction, and the visual effects of light and weather.
