The Art Gallery of Bancroft is situated on the traditional territory of the Anishinaabeg Algonquins, which is known to be unceded. Indigenous people have been stewards of this land since time immemorial; as such we honour and respect their connection to the land, its plants, animals and stories. Our recognition of the contributions and historic importance of Indigenous peoples is sincerely aligned to our collective commitment to make the promise and the challenge of truth and reconciliation real in our community.

Pictured here the Lighting the Night: Tissue Paper Lantern Making class’s 5 participants learning how to construct forms with willow branches and apply tissue paper to create some gorgeous and whimsical lanterns. The participants from the Artist Critique workshop the following day also had a great experience with Henry leading them through a wonderful critique sharing their art practices and new goals for their future work.

📣OPENING RECEPTION TONIGHT!

Join us at the AGB tonight, Friday Oct 4th, 2024 at 7:30pm for Henry Melissa Gordon’s opening reception for “Dream Journals”!

The work, inspired by Gordon’s own dream journaling, is a stunning array of abstracted themes and imagery conveyed in splendid variations of colour palettes. We hope to see you tonight for an engaging evening surrounded by art and a chance to hear from the artist themselves. Thank you to our sponsor, a Friend of the Gallery.

🎨Don’t forget! Henry Melissa Gordon is hosting two workshops: Tissue Paper Lantern Making on Sunday October 6th and The Art of the Artist’s Critique on Monday October 7th. To find more information and to register please visit www.artgallerybancroft.ca

From the Artist:
“My new work draws from almost 20 years of dream journals…an important part of my journey to personal growth and self- knowledge. I love that dreaming engages a deep subconscious part of myself. It pushes me to the edges of my knowing as I vision spaces of magic and otherness, exiting the rules and realities of the physical world while still referencing the known. Some believe that there is just a thin veil between the physical world and the spirit or dream realm. The veil is said to be much more permeable than we imagine. With practice, we can move with ease between these very different spaces in our awake dreaming or our asleep dreaming.”

Henry Melissa Gordon (she/they) is a visual artist and educator, and a proud member of the LGBT2S+ community. Henry emigrated to Canada from South Africa as a child. Later she studied and worked in the UK for many years, then returned to Canada and graduated from the University of Waterloo MFA (Studio Art) program in 1999.
