Wax/Wane
Wax/Wane is a group art exhibition and music event where color and surreal worlds will dominate the walls and corridors of the residential gallery. Featuring our Artist in Residence: Kyle Ranson (Passenger #77) with guest artists Christine Shields and Walter Sutin and music performance by The Color Forty Nine. The exhibition will go on until the end of February. This show aims to bridge the chasm between conscious and unconscious in an effort to regain the whole and make friends with inner demons. The moon can inspire you, or drive you crazy. It reflects things often hidden from view. Things we intentionally hide from ourselves and others. WAX / WANE seeks to explore this realm of dreams. The cycle of enrichment and diminishment, death and rebirth. The moon is a lantern casting light on this shadowland. Behind this veil we can become one with ourselves, and the world around us, or go insane.
This upcoming exhibition will raise funds for our young artists educational program, and build support for our artist-in-residence mentorship program. The current government shutdown has also been problematic for developing local arts organizations who rely on educational grants, making public support critical to our work and our ability to deliver educational outreach programs in the community.
