July 31
Artist Salon Gallery Tour and Panel Discussion
Richmond Cultural Centre – Art Gallery and Rooftop Garden
7700 Minoru Gate
1pm-2:30pm
In connection to the Richmond Art Gallery’s Imperfect Offerings exhibition, the Artist Salon Series hosts a public tour and talk with local conservator and ceramic artist Naoko Fukumaru, artist Glenn Lewis, and independent curator Makiko Hara. As the exhibition’s core themes highlight recovery and a careful return to sociality, this is an ideal time for the Artist Salon to return to a space of socializing and connecting with other artists. Kintsugi “golden joining” is rooted in Japanese culture. It is the practice of repairing broken ceramics through the use of precious metals mixed into lacquer, and applied along the breakages. Join in the discussion with the artists and curators to explore new ways to connect and collaborate with others in your own art practice. Session begins with a gallery tour led by Curator Shaun Dacey, followed by a panel discussion outdoors in the Rooftop Garden.
