LURE OPENING RECEPTION: FISHING KITCHEN PARTY
Bring your stories, songs and fishing lore to celebrate the opening of Lure. Enjoy live music, good food and warm conversation in the lobby (our stand-in kitchen) of Evergreen Arts and take in the art of Lure, which looks at fishing through the eyes of six contemporary artists. Share your fishing stories, poems or song in a thirty-minute open mic session and enjoy live music from Port Moody’s own East Coast transplants Adam and Sarah Faber.
ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
From subsistence to livelihood, from sport to ritual, fishing links people from coast to coast to coast. This thematic group exhibition includes work by Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists across Canada with ties to the Pacific, Arctic and Atlantic Oceans, and the freshwater bodies that flow between. Together the artists explore the complex social and cultural significance of the ancient yet everyday activity of fishing.
Lure is generously supported by the Deux Mille Foundation.
