Notes From The Curator
Our exhibition of works by Cary Weigand continues through October 3. It's hard to believe a whole month has gone by since the last Second Saturday Art Walk. We have busily been framing work, and making display cases in preparation for Maggie Taylor's show in the gallery, and Lyell Castonguay's exhibit in our printmaking area. We have also had lots of new work arriving for our collections area.
Timing and planning has been a tricky thing over the past two years. Like everyone, we and our artists have had to become resilient, and adapt with changing circumstances. When we first planned Maggie Taylor's show over a year ago, the intent was to curate the show around her new book, but as the publication date for this was pushed out, we needed to change track. Our September/October show is split into two collections. The first is a selection of works from Maggie's "Through the Looking-Glass" series. The second grouping showcases works created over the past two years. In addition we will be showing three limited edition books, "No Ordinary Days", "Alice in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking-Glass".
Just because planning is tricky doesn't mean we stop. We are currently woking on our 2022 program, which will include, the promised show supporting the launch of Maggie Taylor's new book. The program will also include Karen Abel, Mark Andre, Mary Alayne Thomas, Sara Swink, Emily McPhie, Suzanne Long, and Michelle Gregor.
If you are planning to do the Second Saturday Art Walk bring your mask. We are limiting our gallery capacity to ten visitors at one time, so we can't accommodate large groups.
