April 10th 6pm – 8pm
Gordon Smith Gallery of Canadian Art
2121 Lonsdale Ave, North Vancouver, BC

Please Join us on Friday, April 10th for the Opening of One Hundred Artists Deep at the Gordon Smith Gallery of Canadian Art.

In One Hundred Artists Deep, eight local artists were invited to create new work in response to artworks from the Artists for Kids Permanent Collection by founders Bill Reid (1920–1998), Jack Shadbolt (1909–1998), and Gordon Smith (1919–2020). Each of these founding artists left an enduring legacy, not only through their artistic practices but through their deep commitment to arts education. Corey Bulpitt, Andrew Dadson, Alex Gibson, Chantal Gibson, Tiziana La Melia, veto monteiro, Manuel Axel Strain, and Isabel Wynn were selected for the strength and diversity of their practices, as well as for their sensitive and intuitive approaches to art-making. They were invited to respond with full freedom in how that response took shape. The historical works and the contemporary responses are presented together in the gallery, creating a space for conversation across time.
