Join us this weekend for an Artist Talk with Lyn Carter!
Bringing together sculpture, animation, and sound, "The Pinks" introduces six quirky, non-human characters and invites us to think about identity, connection, and what it means to be human. The exhibition unfolds through playful and unexpected encounters, with animation sequences that gradually fall out of sync, and characters that each offer their own perspective.
Hear more about Carter’s artistic practice, the ideas behind the exhibition, and how "The Pinks" came together.
📅 Saturday, October 3
🕑 2:00–4:00 pm
📍 Art Gallery of Peterborough
🎟️ Free to attend | All are welcome
"The Pinks" is on view at the AGP until October 4, 2026. This exhibition is organized and circulated by Woodstock Art Gallery
