SAGA opens new show

Local art gallery opens new exhibition Friday.

SAGA Public Art Gallery in Salmon Arm presents Slow Movement: A Cultural Reversal, an exhibition of works by Winnipeg artist and teacher Ingrid McMillan.

The 12 large-scale paintings are about slowing down to preserve the natural pace of humanity.

McMillan has watched her students reject “accelerated” values and opt for relationships over achievements; refinement over material things.

These paintings show her students enjoying more thought-provoking activities.

The show opens with a reception Friday, April 1 at 7 p.m, runs until Saturday, April 23.

Gallery officials invite visitors to enjoy some pleasant slowing-down activities during this exhibition; chess, puzzles and perhaps a game of cards.

Gallery hours are Tuesday to Saturday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

 

Family Saturdays take place every Saturday at 2 p.m.
