Invitation
Celebrating the 25th Anniversary of Bondar's flight!
Unveiling Reception Friday, November 10 at 7 p.m.
The photographic portraits of land and seas in this exhibition are artistic interpretations of the unique and important landscape that is Canada. Appropriate in Canada's sesquicentennial year, these images present extraordinary landscapes across the country, encouraging a love and respect for the natural environment in its complexity. The collection is a consistent view of one artist, Dr. Roberta Bondar, Canada's first woman in space, exploring the varied landscape in the singular light that is Canada.
Enhancing the sesquicentennial celebrations, Gallery@501 in partnership with the Strathcona Wilderness Centre will be exhibiting the winning photographs from the 2013-2016 Summer Camp Bondar Challenge. To date, two Strathcona Wilderness Centre, Adventure Photography camp participants, have been given awards in this challenge, Honourable Mention - "Dragon Fly Sitting on a Stick" by Emil Murray (2013) and Third Place Diamond - "Blue Dots" by Jade Fontana (2014).
Winning entries from the national Camp Bondar Challenge include three winners from the Strathcona Wilderness Centre Summer Camp. The Strathcona Wilderness Centre is located in the UNESCO Beaver Hills Biosphere. These photographs will be on display in the gallery from November 10 - 14, then on display in the Artrium (Community Centre) from November 15 - January 12, 2018.
