This year, members were invited to submit artwork that interprets the theme of “belonging”.
These insights of local artists invite the audience to reflect on what is important in their own lives, and what belonging means to them.
Members Show: The Art of Belonging is on display at Gallery@501 from November 12 to December 18.
“Nearly every aspect of our lives is organized around belonging: we belong to families, community groups, sports teams, and spiritual organizations to name just a few. These connections play an important role in physical and mental well-being, providing a feeling of acceptance and a grounding in a common sense of purpose,” says Assistant Curator Lisa Rayner. “Belonging can also be thought of in geographical terms: to cities and countries where we live, or to nature or significant locations like a childhood home or a special vacation spot. The way we experience belonging shapes who we are and how we relate to those around us.”
Through virtual and in-person programs, artist talks, social media engagement, and multi-sensory exhibit experiences, Gallery@501 continues to support, inspire and grow a love of the arts while providing a welcoming space for all.
Admission to the gallery is free. Residents can visit strathcona.ca/gallery501 to view a list of upcoming exhibits, resources for artists or to sign up for Gallery@501 e-news.
