Salmon Arm Art Gallery is pleased to present Dust to Dust, a multi-media exhibition featuring 13 artists exploring the topic of death and transition.
The exhibition opens on Friday, October 23, 2020 with a preview evening between 6pm and 9pm. Everyone is welcome to attend, and Covid protocols are in place.
Dust to Dust is curated by Kate Fagervik, Manager of Visitor Experience at Salmon Arm Art Gallery. Kate has been fascinated by death since she was a child, and recalls collecting dead things like birds and bugs, creating a graveyard in her parent's backyard. Dust to Dust explores death, grief and transitions with 13 BC artists of diverse media, and has been a journey in and of itself in curating the various views. Some have said that an exhibition about death is too taboo for Salmon Arm, but Kate believes that art can change the world, and that all humans deserve time and space to look, pause, think, feel and process challenging topics.
The exhibition is generously sponsored by Bowers Funeral Services and Fischer’s Funeral Services. Gallery hours are Tuesday to Saturday, 11am to 4pm. The Artist Talk will be released on Salmon Arm Arts Centre’s YouTube channel on November 26 at 2pm. Admission to the Art Gallery is by donation.
