Join us this Friday, October 4th 5:30-7:30, for the opening of two new Gallery shows!Cross-Pollination
Light House Keepers Collective
Using collaborative storytelling and an array of traditional folk and fine arts practices, artist collective Light House Keepers presents Cross-Pollination, a site-specific installation that responds to ecological anxiety and climate grief with narratives of survival and collective care. The collective draws from folklore, ecology, local histories, and lived experiences to create artifacts, heirlooms, and ephemera from an imagined post-industrial future. Set within an imagined living space, Cross-Pollination evokes a community that has weathered the upheavals of climate change, balancing the inevitability of grief with resilience and hope. Linking remembered past and speculative future, we invite our community to imagine collective survival in a post-extraction society.
Craft at Risk
Curated by Heritage NL
Newfoundland and Labrador is known for its traditions and culture, heritage skills, arts, and crafts. But how many people do you know who can run a birch broom, weave a basket, or build a boat? At one point, makers of these types of objects were commonplace in Newfoundland and Labrador. This exhibition highlights the makers of these traditional crafts and demonstrates the importance of these skills.
All are welcome and admission is free!
