Renewal: Studio Art Quilt Associates at the Museum:Thirty-three artists in this traveling Studio Art Quilt Associates exhibition have given us their interpretations of Renewal. Each perspective is unique to the individual artist and offers viewers a wide range of observations and experiences of renewal.
8 Rooms at the Art Centre: This exhibition highlights the eight dioramas that were created for Anita Lebeau’s 11-minute animated film 8 Rooms. For this project, Lebeau enlisted seven other artists to contribute dioramas to be used as backgrounds in her film. The dioramas were created by the 8 Rooms artists, a collective from rural Southwestern Manitoba and Winnipeg: Heather Komus, Reva Stone, Suzie Smith, Barb Flemington, Shirley Brown, Seema Goel, Diana Thorneycroft and Anita Lebeau.
Herring People—Iinang Xaadee at the Art Centre: This exhibition integrates art and science to reveal the importance of herring, an iconic forage fish species, to the local indigenous communities and marine ecosystems of British Columbia. This arts-based initiative (2016 – 2017) is a partnership between renowned Haida artist and geologist April SG̱áana Jáad White and three scientists: Drs Mimi E. Lam, chemist; Tony J. Pitcher, fisheries ecologist; and Evgeny A. Pakhomov, oceanographer.
