Acadian Art Exhibition Opens Tomorrow (Sackville)
Biographies: Un regard contemporain sur l’Acadie
The Owens Art Gallery in Sackville, NB, presents an exhibition of the work of eight Acadian artists selected by Jennifer Bélanger and Mario Doucette. The guest curators, artists and Acadians themselves, have presented us with an exhibition, which reflects their interest in the making of art as an activity inextricably bound up with concepts of identity and the drive for self-expression.
The artists they have chosen represent several generations and a wide career range, from emerging to more senior and established. The works in the exhibition offer a variety of approaches and media, suggesting the richness and diversity in the art of contemporary Acadie. The artists in the exhibition are Maryse Arsenault, Jean-Denis Boudreau, Herménégilde Chiasson, Francois Gaudet, André Lapointe, Mathieu Léger, André Alan Phelps, Stefan St-Laurent.
An opening reception will be held on Saturday, October 25 at 5:00pm. Everyone is welcome to attend.
Biographies: Un regard contemporain sur l’Acadie has been produced with the support of the Canada Council for the Arts, artsnb, and the Province of New Brunswick.
