We finished installing the Wild Waysides exhibition at the Red Head Gallery, and closed it up for the night, but come by tomorrow! The show opens Thursday August 6, 5:00 pm - 9:00 pm. It is the final show (and symposium over the weekend) for our inaugural Queer Up North artist residency - the culmination of three years of scheming, dreaming and planning, to make QUN and this exhibition series a reality. Exhibiting the work of the sixteen artists that attended the QUN residency in Temagami, it’s been a joy and an honour to work with all of the artists. It continues to be a fruitful collaboration between @throbbingrose collective and @nrccprojectspace. Thanks to @canada.council for their generous funding. We hope to see you at the opening. Check www.throbbingrose.ca for more details!
Opening Reception: Thursday, August 7, 5 - 8 pm.
