Permanent Collection: Getting There

Opening Reception: Friday, January 22 at 8pm This exhibition brings together a range of artworks, historical and contemporary, from the Mendel Art Gallery’s permanent collection that share a common subject of a road, alley, trail or pathway. Roads, alleys, trails and pathways can be lifelines that physically connect people and places. They can also be a point of pause and reflection connecting the present with memories of the past. Choosing which road or path to travel down can potentially alter the course of one’s future, hopefully for the better. A road can be heavy with metaphor in an artwork (life, destiny, adventure, hope, danger, mystery...) or a road can be simply a road. Guest Curated by Linda Sawchyn, Getting There includes a selection of photographs, prints, water colours, paintings and other works by James Davies, Robert Hurley, Doris Wall Larson, Orest Semchisen, Leslie Saunders, Hilda Stewart and others.
