IN PROCESS: The Abstract Six
Visit the artists Thurs-Sat 11am-6pm, in October
Learn at one of their workshops!
IN PROCESS is a group exhibit and month-long residency featuring six Calgary abstract artists (Ghislaine Cleiren, Claudia Lorenz, Susan Hull, Barb Straka, Anne M Gunst, and Dixie Baum) exploring ideas of change, transition, and the creative process. Working in various mediums and styles, these artists use abstraction to express emotion, memory, and transformation through mark-making, texture, and experimentation. Throughout October, the gallery will remain an active workspace where visitors can witness the evolution of each artist’s work and engage in conversation about the creative process.
