An Evening with Alistair MacLeod, Nino Ricci and Iain Baxter&
Join us for a special evening presentation with three Canadian cultural icons as they help us to celebrate the opening of Sense of Place: A Cross Border Exhibition at the Cape Breton University Art Gallery.
Sense of Place is circulated by the Windsor [ON] Printmaker’s Forum, bringing together works by 36 artists from Canada and Michigan exploring the theme of place through print making. The show maps out contemporary printmaking, from monotypes, etchings, woodcuts, lithographs and silkscreen to digital prints and found objects.
From 6:00pm – 8:00pm attend a lively exchange between MacLeod, Ricci and Baxter& at the Boardmore Theatre. The authors will read from their award-winning works, and Baxter& will discuss his career as a celebrated international conceptual artist. This will be followed by a panel discussion about the themes in Sense of Place, for which each contributed to the exhibition catalogue.
The presentation will be followed by an opening reception and book signing from 8:00-9:30pm in the CBU Art Gallery. Meet the special guests and see the exhibition. Works by Ricci and MacLeod and Sense of Place exhibition catalogues will be available for sale.
Open to the general public. Free event.
