Join us as we celebrate the opening of two new exhibitions: Ally McIntyre: Kindling and Collector's Cosmos: The Meakins-McClaran Print Collection.
Friday, November 3
Members’ Preview: 6pm
Public Access: 7:30pm
Members will have a preview of the exhibitions at 6pm with opening remarks to begin at 6:20pm. Light refreshments will be served and drinks will be available for purchase. The public will have access to the opening from 7:30 to 9pm.
In this exhibition, Ally McIntyre uses animal protagonists to explore human caused climate collapse. By presenting animals as central figures, McIntyre challenges us to reconsider our place and impact in the world. Although humans are not prominently depicted in this exhibition, their presence is palpable, and it is evident that human actions pose the primary threat to the welfare of the animals.
This exhibition is presented by the RBC New Works Gallery.
This exhibition is organized by the National Gallery of Canada.
