The CRAG invites you to join us for the first in a series of artist talks this Thursday, 23 August, 2018 at 5:30 pm in the Main Gallery. Artist and UVic professor Megan Dickie with the CRAG's own Vicky Chainey Gagnon will lead you through the summer 2018 exhibition Horizon Felt, an exercise that will encourage dialogue as it deepens your engagement with contemporary art and visual culture. Admission by donation.

She is also the recipient of projects grants from both the Canada Council for the Arts, the BC Arts Council and the University of Victoria.
