Main Gallery
Come see an exciting array of new work by three Canadian artists, opening September 30. This exhibit will feature the work of artists Janice Brant, Nina-Marie Lister, and Susan Wallis as they work both together and separately under the theme of fire.
The show will be a part of the Prince Edward County Studio Tour, running from September 30-October 2, 2022. The show will continue at Melt Gallery until October 23.
“The hearth of home and heart is where Fire is kept, warming and holding: where eternal stories are told, song cycles are sung, bread is baked and broken through the ages. The circle of Fire lights creativity, fuels continuity and transforms energy. We know too that Fire, untended, rages, ravages and renews. At the edge of a new epoch, with our climate changing and Nature in crisis, we make hope together, co-creating, (re)mediating our place in this brave and beautiful world, caught between peril and promise, despair and delight. As artists, this is our invitation to an unfolding story and its dance around the Fire.”
-Janice Brant, Nina-Marie Lister & Susan Wallis
