Opening Reception: Of a Place

Description

Join us for a reception for the exhibition called "Of a Place", an exhibition of RPL and SK Arts Permanent Collections. Curated by Wendy Peart, Curator of Education and Community Outreach

Additional Information

Featuring Audi Atcheynum, Catherine Blackburn, Daphne Boyer, Carole Epp, Patrick Fernandez, Torrie Ironstar, Dani LaValley, Kevin McKenzie, Bailey Randell-Monsebroten, and DJ Tapaquon.

The works in this exhibition are recent acquisitions to Regina Public Library Permanent Collection and the SK Arts Permanent Collection made by artists who have a connection to the Prairies. Evident in all the work, are the artists’ deep and profound relationships to family, culture, land, home, and community, which is achieved through various methods, materials, and strategies. Through playful, wry, serious, introspective, hopeful, joyous and critical approaches, the artists examine how they are situated within and what they envision for their communities. Most importantly, the works feature the powerful contribution that individual personal identities bring to the richness of a particular place.

Special thanks for the loan of artworks from SK Arts Permanent Collection.
