VANCOUVER ARTS CENTRE GALLERIES

CARMINE 

14 October- 5 November 

Carmine brings together a collection of works by women artists held within the City of Albany Art Collection, offering a glimpse into the varied ways artists have observed, interpreted and responded to the world around them.

Spanning different generations and artistic practices, the exhibition brings together works that speak to place, identity, memory, nature and lived experience. Some offer intimate or personal perspectives, while others look outward, capturing the landscapes, people and environments that shape our sense of place.

Presented together, these works create a conversation between artists, artworks and generations. They invite us to look beyond individual works and consider the stories that emerge when they are brought into dialogue.

Carmine is a celebration of the women artists represented in the Collection, and an invitation to discover, reconsider and connect with their work.
