Westminster Bookmark is pleased to help celebrate the Fredericton launch of beloved and best-selling Maritime author Lesley Crewe’s new novel, Death & Other Inconveniences.
We are excited to present “Liminal Presence” a joint exhibition featuring two prominent local artists, Greg Charlton and Jared Peters. Join us for the opening reception on Thursday May 9th at 5:30 PM. Exhibition runs until May 30th.
Greg Charlton is a Fredericton-based visual artist who concentrates on themes of transformation and change – via drawings and paintings of architecture and infrastructures. His practice has encompassed, along with drawing and painting, site-specific interventions, and experiments into perceptual phenomenon.
Greg’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally and can be found in many private and several public Art collections, including the Canada Council for the Arts, the University of New Brunswick, and the Beaverbrook Art Gallery. He has been awarded project grants from the Canada Council for the Arts, the Ontario Arts Council, and the New Brunswick Arts Board. Greg holds a BFA from the Ontario College of Art and Design (OCAD U) and presently teaches Drawing and Design at the New Brunswick College of Craft and Design (NBCCD).
Jared Peters is a contemporary artist concerned with narratives of painting, history, and power. He holds a BA from UNB (2005), a BFA from NSCAD University (2010), and an MFA from the University of Western Ontario (2014). A recipient of numerous grants and awards, Peters was shortlisted for the prestigious RBC Canadian Painting Competition in 2011. His work can be found in private and public collections across Canada. In addition to his painting practice, Peters has worked extensively as an art educator and organizer. He currently lives in Fredericton, New Brunswick, where he works as the Dean of the New Brunswick College of Craft and Design.
Gallery 78 is pleased to present two new exhibitions from May 3 – 25. They are opening Friday, May 3rd from 5-7 pm. Meet the artists and see their works in person for the first time!
Stephen May’s “By George!” features artworks that were made from the pastels that belonged to his late friend, George Strunz. Winner of the Lieutenant Governor’s Award and described by Molly Lamb Bobak as a painter of great taste and quality, his newest body of work is an exceptional collection of landscapes, still lifes, and portraits. Discover these outstanding creations of one of New Brunswick’s most revered artists.
Nova Scotia artist Matthew Collins’ “The Organic Process” is an exhibition of his latest landscapes, from blue-skied beaches to ponds in forest groves. In his words, “I love the raw, ever changing natural beauty surrounding me and often find myself returning to the same spots time and again. However, the way the painting is executed holds more value to me than the subject.” Using his classic style of thick application of paint on the canvas, this show is a visual delight in every sense of the word!
We look forward to your visit! The works will be available online Tuesday, April 30, at https://gallery78.com.
Open: Tues to Fri 10am-5pm, Sat 10am-3pm or visit virtually at: www.gallery78.com
