Jarvis Hall Gallery is pleased to invite you to "Further Studies in Citizenship, Fiction" by Calgary based artist, Bill Rodgers. 

“Further Studies in Citizenship, Fiction” is comprised of 20 paintings and 26 companion works in various media, that archives a small library of fictional themes and titles that were intended to enrich life in settlement era Canada.This exhibition is mirrored by “Studies in Citizenship”(2009), in which works of non fiction, that held a more pragmatic role in this period of Canada’s social history, were presented in much the same manner. These works serve to question the social consequences of literacy and access to books in the settlement era. - Bill Rodgers 2017
