IN THE GALLERY - FEB 7-FEB 25 HERITAGE WEEK ART SHOW AND EXHIBIT Creative Energy: Air, Earth, Fire and WaterWithout energy, we couldn’t work, build, grow ~ or create. The natural world initially provides sources of energy, harnessed and enhanced by creative ideas. From early hearths and campfires to industrial generation of hydro-electric power plants, and burning of fossil fuels, mankind has relied on vastly different sources of energy. The story of creative energy is about self-expression, conserving and ensuring a sustainability. It is also about community ~ generating energy by form-ing relationships, acting together and building a common vision. Experience energy from the four elements: air, water, fire and earth, portrayed through an eclectic mix of traditional illustration, photography, multi-media creations and performance art. The exhibit will include working models that demonstrate creative ways to generate energy. The official opening will include readings of haiku poetry, and throughout the show, artists from a variety of genres will be on hand to generate dialogue around energy and power.Join us for the Artist Meet and Greet on Saturday February 11, from 1-4PM at the Gallery of the Mission Arts Centre.
