London galleries join coast-to-coast Art Hop celebration – CBC.ca
Six London galleries are taking part in a three-day celebration of artists and art from coast to coast.
Canadian Art Hop aims to highlight and celebrate local artists and art galleries. Over 85 galleries from across Canada will host free talks, exhibitions, openings, tours and workshops from Friday to Sunday.
Local galleries include the Forest City Gallery, Good Sport, McIntosh Gallery, Michael Gibson Gallery, Museum London and the TAP Centre for Creativity.
“I think it’s a wonderful way to connect with all six of us because we’re all very different galleries,” said Jennie Kraehling, associate director at the Michael Gibson Gallery. “It’s a chance to meet new people, to hopefully discover galleries that you didn’t even know existed and to come back time and time again.”
Good Sport has created a zine for the Art Hop with a passport for gallery hoppers to track their tour and a chance to win prizes.
Toronto-based painter Matt Bahen will be at the McIntosh Gallery at Western University for a discussion with guest curator Matthew Ryan Smith on Saturday.
Etienne Zack, a Vancouver-based artist, will be at the Michael Gibson Gallery for an opening reception on Saturday. Zack’s “Mind Pictures” series is on display and he will host a talk and tour.
