Opening Reception & Artist TalkThurs. July 12 at 6 pmYou are cordially invited to the opening night reception of in-ter-lop-er, by Selina Martineau, as part of the RISE Emerging Artist Program!
With her artwork, Selina Martineau strives to challenge the assumptions many people have about art, society, race and gender, and she does so through a subversion of familiar themes. “It is vital for my art to give a voice to people who have always been underrepresented.”
Selina is the 2018 recipient of the Emerging Artist Bursary from the Lamphouse Endownment for the Arts Fund. She was presented with the award at the Canmore Mayor’s Spotlight on the Arts gala.
“I just want to say how inspiring it is to be recognized alongside these very talented, established artists in the community,” Martineau said. “I’m extremely honoured to be receiving recognition for the work that I’ve been doing, and am very grateful to this community for its continued support.”
