Opening August 8 6-8 pm Artists in attendance.

"Born in 1963, my formative years were during the women’s liberation movement. I grew up in a family environment that was gender-equal. Yet, I encountered gender inequalities as a student and in my professional life.

I wanted to collaborate with Rachel Bouchard (The Front Gallery) and Heather Hamel (Scott Gallery) to bring a broad audience to an exhibit featuring women; to celebrate women in the arts and to explore the discourse around gender in the art professions today. Is it still relevant?

Bugera Matheson Gallery artists, Karen Yurkovich, Wendy Skog and Alex Peck-Whyte were raised here in Edmonton. Each graduated with fine arts degrees from the University of Alberta at different times. With a common foundation, Alex, Karen and Wendy are professional artists from different generations and with unique perspectives.”
