Claire Dibble, "Hidden Hero Project," 2019
The Kootenay Gallery presents a new art project by Claire Dibble.
The Hidden Hero Project is a community-driven art project undertaken by artist Claire Dibble as a commission from the Kootenay Gallery of Art. Castlegar and area residents nominated friends, family, neighbours and other deserving citizens for acts of kindness and generousity. The project received over 40 nomination. Twenty-six people were randomly selected to be photographed Dibble for this exhibition.
The resulting portraits will be shown in an exhibition at Kootenay Gallery which opens June 20 at 7:00 pm. Everyone is welcome to attend the opening event where the participants will be introduced and receive a certificate to mark the nomination. The Mayor and a local Elder will be on hand to present the certificates. Come celebrate the people who live and give in our community.
