PASSAGES
Opening: Saturday, December 1, 2 to 4pm
On display until December 23
Two years ago, in conjunction with the Durham Art Gallery, the
Grey-Bruce branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) assembled
an exhibition of work produced by participants in its art programs from
five different communities in the Grey-Bruce area. Once again, the Gallery
is pleased to present a new exhibition of recent work by CMHA participants
organized by Mark Harwood.
This year additional funds were made available to the program through
an Ontario Arts Council education grant. This show attempts to include
at least one work of each participant in the art program as a visual
testimony to survival, healing and hope. In this context, the work embodies
the nature of a passage from one realm to another—an affirmation
of identity and being a viable part of a larger community. The word ‘passage’ suggests
a course, migration or exploration that may ultimately result in discovery.
This exhibition pays tribute to that pursuit.
