Happy Friday! Today we`re sharing the work of Lawren Harris from the KPRDSB Collection, currently on view at the Art Gallery of Peterborough.

The arts and education have long standing ties. By challenging minds in their formative years, encouraged to think abstractly and inspired to seek out altered perspectives, we invest in a vital and innovative future. The AGP was founded upon two strong pillars: contemporary art and arts education. For the past 50 years, we have acted as a connector between artists and audiences, celebrating new ways of thinking, celebrating artistic practice, and opening spaces for conversation and exchange.

Schools, like galleries, are just buildings without the people who animate them. Without the vibrancy of exchange and the hum of creation, they are empty. The Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board has stewarded generations of engaged student bodies, and their legacy resides in our collection storage.

Join us for a Special Reception to celebrate this exhibition and the support of the PCVS Legacy Fund within the Community Foundation of Greater Peterborough on Tuesday, December 3 from 7:00 – 9:00 pm.

Opening today: Arnold Zageris | Refractions
 
In our region, we live close to the water. Our towns cluster along the carved land, roads wrapping around lakes, shadowing the river as it flows over rocks and down chutes, bubbling, rippling, and splashing.  As it moves across surfaces, it stirs and suspends particles and creates a liquid lens, changing and refracting the light in a stream of persistent yet fleeting compositions. 
 
In this new body of work, Arnold Zageris studies the expressions of water in its many changing states and captures the abstract and the painterly in the waterways of our region.
 
On view at the Art Gallery of Peterborough until January 5, 2025.

Join us on Saturday, November 9, to celebrate the opening of "Arnold Zageris | Refractions" at the Art Gallery of Peterborough.

In this new body of work, Arnold Zageris studies the expressions of water in its many changing states.

Noticing the dramatic range the water offers, from deep gem tones to frothy pastels, from geometric frozen planes to smooth curvaceous drapes, Zageris has learned to predict its pathways and patterns. Watching, positioning his camera, and waiting for just the right moment to open the shutter, he captures the water’s refracted light. Seeking new perspectives, Zageris brings his tripod into the riverways, sometimes using a ladder as a perch, striking a delicate balance to document magnified rocks of the riverbed and reflections of the sky through a short passage of time.

This event is free to attend and open to the public.
All are welcome.

Happy Halloween! We love spooky season, so enjoy some of our favourite, and candy-corniest, halloween themed puns:

🧛 How do vampires create art?
They draw blood

🧟 What is a zombie`s favourite colour?
Flesh tones

☠️ What kind of art do skeletons like?
Skulltures

🐈‍⬛ Why did the black cat visit an art gallery?
To get a new purr-spective

From all of us at the AGP, have a safe and Happy Halloween!
