Visual Arts Grad Exhibition Fundra iser
UBC’s AMS and AHVA Galleries present WEAREART\, a colla
borative show and fundraiser featuring works from Faculty\, Staff\, and Stu
dents from the Department of Art History\, Visual Art\, and Theory at UBC.
WEAREART is a mixed media event centered on each artist’s interpretation o
f the grey monochrome. The exhibition and fundraiser will also display and
sell protest posters and T-shirts\, designed by 4th year BFA and BA visual
arts students. The opening event will include a silent auction of all the
works held at the AMS Gallery from 4-7pm\, on Friday\, November the 13th\,
followed by a show at the Gallery in Koerner Library from September 18th –
21st.
The use of the grey monochrome is inspired by the work of the gr
oup “greysquare.ca”\, an organization dedicated to restoring public support
for the arts and culture in British Columbia. This show takes place in th
e shadow of the announcement of devastating cuts to arts funding in B.C. T
he use of grey is meant to symbolize a future without art and culture – “a
future we are working to avoid” (greysquare.ca).
