Did you know that the gallery hosts a critical reading group, named after our first librarian Hazel Bletcher? Bletcher Hour is held on the first Thursday of each month. Readings are sent as PDFs in advance, and the group gathers for open discussion in the gallery's Art Library space.

Readings explore key themes of the exhibitions and current events, with the intent to deepen our understanding of the artworks and their context within our community.

Everyone is welcome to join these open discussions! 

On Jan. 6, we will discuss Gunvor Guttorm's article "The Power of Natural Materials and Environments in Contemporary Duodji", as featured in the book Sámi Art and Aesthetics: Contemporary Perspectives, edited by Svein Aamold, with Elin Haugdal and Ulla Angkjær Jørgensen.

Sámi Art and Aesthetics was selected for our Art Library by Jan-Erik Lundström, who curated our current exhibition Britta Marakatt-Labba's Under the Vast Sky.
