Sheep River: A Public Event
Opening Reception
July 12th from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Artist Talk & Forum: Lower Gallery - 5 p.m.
LOCATION: The Ranch - 354160 64 St. Foothills, AB.
This stunning exhibition, including both indoor and outdoor spaces, invites the viewer to engage in a visual conversation. What is our relationship to our surrounding landscape? Why is the juxtaposition of life and death, what is raw, with what is refined so compelling? And what drives our innate desire to contain what is natural within what is made by man, or to talk what is linear and release it into this wilderness?
Guests will be invited to tour the natural landscape along a designated path that extends to the bank of the Sheep River itself. This stunning art walk includes the actual sites for Jennifer’s performance/photographic work, installations, paintings and a stunning sculpture by newcomer Kevin Elliott. There will be refreshments, two indoor galleries to explore within the ranch house and of course the feature exhibition and artist talk within the lower exhibition at 5 p.m. Please scroll down for further details and RSVP’s are appreciated, but not mandatory. Do not miss this unique, family-friendly event!
Alternative Viewing Dates:
July 13th, 19th & 20th from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
This stunning convergence of different mediums, featuring the work of mixed media artist Jennifer Peters and newcomer Kevin Elliott, will also include a collection of local artists ranging from the student to the seasoned professional in the upper gallery. The Attic exhibition was curated by Jennifer and will include some of her delightful Wonderland collection. The massive loft is packed with curiosity, so give ample time to search for your treasure amid this unique range of work. Most of the work will be on sale during the run of the exhibition, though some pieces have been sold in advance. Any and all purchases will be marked and delivered following the close of the exhibition on July 20th.
Art is for anyone and everyone, so please do not be shy! This show is intended for both young and old, from the newcomer to the seasoned collector, so come experience this unique event firsthand,
I am deeply honoured to have none other than Walter White Bear joining us for two hours of live music during the opening reception this coming Saturday, July 12th from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. He is generously donating his time in support of this event; an absolute gift for the senses amid the perfect landscape. My gratitude to this beautiful soul and the many artists who are contributing to this event knows no bounds.
