While there are hundreds of non-commercial, artist-run spaces in Canada today, the Open Space Art Gallery, founded in 1972, was one of the first in the country.
The Open Space Arts Society is celebrating its 50th anniversary with one exhibit that honours the past and another emphasizing the works of emerging Indigenous artists.
“Tide Lines and The Stories We Belong To are an expression of the stories that would not have a space without galleries like Open Space,” said Ambers. “The board and staff at Open Space have worked hard at creating an inclusive and welcoming environment for Indigenous artists and other diverse groups. As the Elder in Residence I can attest to the wholehearted support that Open Space offers to our diverse community of artists.
The exhibit highlights the political and artistic contributions from this cohort for current and future generations to learn from.
