The opening begins at 4:30pm and runs until 6:00pm. Food and refreshments will be provided. Come out, see some amazing new works, and talk to the artists and organizers!
I AM HERE: The exhibition features original poetry from the participants and the staff of the River Stone Recovery Centre created collaboratively with artist Lisa Anne Ross, portraits by photographer Kelly Baker and oil portraits from artist David Porter. The exhibition is a part of the larger I AM HERE – Postcards from the Edge community arts project, sponsored by the Atlantic Mentorship Network- NB, meant to foster compassion in our community for the participants of River Stone Recovery Centre. Since April 2023, centre participants and staff worked weekly with Ross talking, writing, and building a creative and personal relationship. The result is a collection of deeply personal poetry and intimate portraits by Kelly Baker that are being turned into quietly public postcards that will be shared widely with our community.
Untitled Dialogue: This exhibit invites the audience to engage with the artwork and contribute their own interpretations. The artist presents a series of unlabeled illustrated artworks, creating a blank canvas for the audience to fill in. Those who participate in the exhibit have a chance to win one of the exhibited pieces. The exhibit aims to foster a sense of connection and community through art.
