Current Exhibits

On Display Now

From March 7 - April 9, we will be hosting the Patchwork Portraits exhibit from the Art Gallery of Alberta's TREX program.

Patch Portraits showcases the work of Michelle Sound and Raneece Buddan, two artists who employ fabrics and materials of cultural heritage to explore the genre of portraiture and identity. Stitching, patching, and collaging together found and fabricated textiles, the resulting bodies of work by each artist showcase multiple ways in which threads and fabrics can be deployed in contemporary art practices.

Curated by Genevieve Farrell, Esplanade Arts & Heritage Centre (TREX Southeast).
